Children's Discovery Room
at Jefferson Patterson Park and Museum

Entrance for Parents
Note the back packs are for the children to borrow from the office. They contain specific activities to use in exploring the wonderful network of trails just outside the door.

The room will be open every day of the week until Thanksgiving.
Then it will open back up in March.

View of the children's discovery room as parents and children enter
activities include, story wall, art table, kitchen play, dress up and pretend in the lodge, building blocks and puzzles, bird and plant and animal ID

All the fun things to do at the hearth, the pot hook swings out and in
and is of real, hand forged iron, crafted by Pat Fulcher.

View toward the authentic eastern woodland lodge built by Barry Keegan and Tim Thoman. The mural and the bricks and the tree areas were painted by Suzanne Shelden and Deborah McClure and portrays the branches and leaves of many common native trees. On the branches and in the brush, children will spy many birds and animals, including a deer and a fawn.

Inside the lodge the mural continues, expanding the view within. Inside find gourds and other fun items from the village.

The View from the lodge toward the Archaeology and building wall.

This is the tree with the bird ID game. The birds in the canopy are original paintings by Megan Richard. Each Bird has it's own, labeled nest and the eggs are specific to each bird.

This is Kate Dinnel's native plant garden outside the Children's Discovery Room.

Many thanks to those with whom I worked so closely on this project.
