Port Huron, MI–The new Discovery City Children’s Exhibit at the Port Huron Museum Carnegie Center opens on September 22, 2021, and a grant from the James C. Acheson Foundation will help low-income families enjoy all the museum has to offer for free.
Families with an EBT/Bridge card will be able to receive a free family day pass to the various Port Huron Museum sites. This includes the Carnegie Center with its brand new Discovery City for kids, the From Whence We Came: Black History in the Blue Water Area, and the James C. Acheson Marine Gallery. In addition, families can visit the Ft. Gratiot Lighthouse, the Huron Light Ship, and the Thomas Edison Depot Museum with their pass.
The Discovery City Children’s Exhibit was purchased used and refurbished by Natalie Green, a former YAC member with the Community Foundation of St. Clair County, and Lydia Sawdon, a Western Michigan University student, to represent kid-sized versions of some of the Blue Water Area’s favorite landmarks, destinations, and historical elements. Kids can discover a miniature version of the Ft. Gratiot Lighthouse, McMorran Place, Edison’s Laboratory, and the St. Clair County Library.
Timed-entry tickets will be available for purchase next week, and prices will be $5 per child or $15 per family.
