Where Learning and Fun Connect
The Children’s Museum Group is a Connecticut-based non-profit educational organization which includes The Children’s Museum and The Children’s Museum Preschool, both located in West Hartford, CT, as well as Roaring Brook Nature Center, located in Canton, CT. We strive to inspire life-long learning among children and their caregivers by providing experiential learning programs covering STEAM, health, nature and the environment. Founded in 1927 as a one-room natural history museum in The Pond House at Elizabeth Park in Hartford, The Children’s Museum is the fifth oldest children’s museum in the nation. The Children’s Museum resided on Trout Brook Drive in West Hartford from 1958 through 2022. And moved to the current location, sharing grounds with the Emanuel Synagogue, at 180 Mohegan Drive, West Hartford CT.
