Perhaps the Best combo in the Upper Valley?

Thank you so much for visiting. Science story time just started up again on Tuesday mornings if you find you need a regular outing (or cookie excuse?).

“An awful lot of people don't think of themselves as hikers. They don't identify with going out on trails in the woods,” said former Montshire Museum director David Goudy.

“Montshire creates trails that are inviting to people that don't really quite yet feel comfortable doing that.”

It’s a great day to come together and talk climate action and planetary health strategies with Rose Hendricks, Executive Director of the ASTC’s Seeding Action initiative. With Earth Day just around the corner it’s inspiring to hear of the great work happening at science museums across the country!

Museums around the country rely on IMLS for funding, support and partnerships. Friday’s Executive Order will have devastating impacts on the entire museum field.

Please contact your federal elected officials and ask them to protect IMLS.
