In the spirit of the holiday season, I would like to extend thanks to everyone who has supported the Maine Discovery Museum, previously known as the Eastern Maine Children’s Museum. In two months children and families will be able to shed the winter doldrums by visiting a fantastic world of wonder and learning, all in the heart of downtown Bangor, the Freese’s Building. We have come so far and with less than $125,000 left to raise we have almost achieved our capital campaign goal.

As someone who has had the opportunity of being involved in the project since its inception more than three years ago, I have witnessed an amazing coming together of people and businesses for a common goal. This “can do” spirit has resulted in a top-quality organization, from the board of directors and capital campaign committee to the contracted businesses and professional staff. Add hundreds of community volunteers and the city of Bangor’s support and you have an unstoppable team.

It is inspiring to be part of something that has at its core a vision of hope, embodied in the potential of our children. During this special season when families come together and blessings are counted, it’s exciting to know another good thing is just around the corner – the Maine Discovery Museum is going to be Too Much Fun!
