Mid-Hudson Children's Museum Temporarily Closes For At Least 1 Week Out Of Precaution

Published Date: Friday, March 13, 2020

In the interest of public health, Mid-Hudson Children's Museum (MHCM) will temporarily close to visitors for at least one week, beginning tomorrow, Saturday, March 14, at 5 pm. School visits and events scheduled to be held at the museum during this time will be cancelled and potentially rescheduled.

Over the next week, MHCM will continue to closely monitor the coronavirus/COVID-19 situation in the region, making additional adjustments and assessments on when it is time to reopen.

In a statement, the museum said, “While our immediate community of visitors is generally at low risk, we are electing to close in order to do our part in the social distancing strategy that will protect our greater community from further spread of COVID-19 infection. There is no known incidence of COVID-19 within the MHCM community.

This is the clear, responsible path that was informed by an enormous number of factors, including the deep care we all have for the children and families served, as well as our greater community.”

They invite you to stay connected for updates via the website, Facebook and Twitter.

They added: “We wish you and your family good health and look forward to reopening and sharing our spring and summer programs with you and your little ones!”
