Fun spring-time programs for the wee ones at Main Street Children’s Museum
ROCK HILL, S.C. – Main Street Children’s Museum has spring time programs for the little ones in your life. Serving young children up to age six, Main Street Children’s Museum is a storybook-come-to-life playscape. Special programs focusing on literacy, movement, music, art, and STEM aim to prepare young learners and their caregivers for the future. The 4,420-square-foot playscape is located in the heart of downtown Rock Hill in the People’s Bank Building, which was built in 1910 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The imaginative setting was modeled after the artwork of Vernon Grant, renowned illustrator of Kellogg’s iconic characters – Snap, Crackle and Pop.
