Discovery Creek Children's Museum of Washington is committed to helping all children experience, appreciate and become stewards of the natural environment. Located in the only remaining one-room schoolhouse in Washington, Discovery Creek offers programming and outdoor nature experiences to families, school groups and teachers. Nature, history and the arts are brought to life as children see live native wildlife up close, create innovative art projects and explore the museum's 12 acre forest. The museum, a private, nonprofit organization, opened in October 1994 and is supported by private foundation grants, corporate and individual support, membership, program fees and special events.

Scheduled to open in June 2008, the National Children's Museum will be a vibrant new child-centered museum in Washington, DC where exhibits and programs will open a window on the world of Washington serving local, regional, national and international audiences.

The museum highlights 250 souvenir pennies flattened, elongated and embossed by hand-cranked machines at tourist attractions across the country. Marvel at a penny squished at the 1901 Pan American Exposition's Temple of Music and those commemorating Seattle's Sylvester the Mummy, the Circus Museum of Sarasota, Fla., and even "Cadiz, Kentucky: Home of the Ham Festival." Come prepared to trade squished pennies -- and stories of how they got that way.
