Storyland: A Trip Through Childhood Favorites Childrens Exhibition

Beloved children’s books will come alive as “Storyland: A Trip Through Childhood Favorites” opens at the Campbell County Rockpile Museum in Gillette, Wyoming on Saturday, January 18, 2025.

Storyland, a new exhibit built by Minnesota Children’s Museum, provides imaginative, book-based experiences for children ages birth – 8 years old, and models early literacy experiences to parents and other adult caregivers. The exhibit will continue through May 10, 2025. Admission is FREE FOR ALL.

Storyland transforms seven beloved and award-winning picture books – The Tale of Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter; The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats; Where’s Spot? by Eric Hill; IfYou Give a Mouse a Cookie by Laura Numeroff; Chicka Chicka Boom Boom by Bill Martin Jr. and John Archambault; Abuela by Arthur Dorros; and Tuesday by David Wiesner into three-dimensional play and bi-lingual (English and Spanish) learning environments that highlight six pre-reading skills: disposition to read, print awareness, letter knowledge, sound awareness, vocabulary, and narrative skills and comprehension.

Storyland: A Trip Through Childhood Favorites is presented by Target, with support from the State of Minnesota Clean Water, Land, and Legacy Amendment. This project is made possible by a grant from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services.
This exhibit is made possible at Rockpile Museum by a grant from the Campbell County Public Recreation District (CCCPRD).
