In 2021, a group of Tri-State area community members established a reputable Board of Directors with the intention of creating a children's museum. This board developed a strong volunteer base, obtained its 501(c)3 status, hosted its first fundraiser, and launched the Founding 150 Campaign. The first 150 families, individuals, community groups, and businesses to donate a minimum of $1,000 will forever be acknowledged in the Museum. The Founding 150 Campaign goals were reached in December of 2022. Huntington Children’s Museum moved full steam ahead into 2022 by purchasing a former Shoney's building at 1700 Washington Ave and began renovations. ^[4][5] Three years later on July 13, 2024, the museum opens its doors to the public.^[6]
