Arts Alive! - October 2005

Children's Discovery Museum

Growing With the Community
For the past 17 years, children in central Illinois have had a unique space to explore, learn, and play—a place all their own. Arts Alive! takes a look at how the Children's Discovery Museum has grown over the years and what it has to offer children and families in central Illinois.

Features

Illinois Central College offers two great ways to enjoy the arts in October: the Prairie Wind Ensemble and the theatre’s production of The Wonder Years.
