This is wonderful! My boys will love this!” she quickly exclaimed.

“We want to thank all our visitors who have made this year such a success. This is a tremendous milestone for the Children’s Museum”, said Sharline Freeman, Executive Director. “Since the population of Commerce is 8,000, this number reflects the support that the Children’s Museum receives from throughout northeast Texas. ”
