We are on a mission to inspire and empower children and families to discover, imagine, and grow together.  -ErinGallagher


The living room edition of the series continues with an interview with Erin Gallagher, a young mother of three who teamed up with a friend and neighbor to create the Children’s Museum of Franklin.  www.childrensmuseumfranklin.org.  What started as a dream in the summer of 2023 has become a reality, with the grand opening scheduled for the summer of 2025.  Consider this proof positive that if you want to get something done, give it to two busy moms!  Housed in a former AGWAY home and garden space, the state-of-the-art children’s museum will be overflowing with exhibits to engage and inspire children of all ages.  Born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Erin says she found her confidence and purpose rowing crew on the river near her childhood home and later as a member of the crew team at Boston College.  A dedicated community leader, marketing and communications professional, and passionate advocate for children and families, Erin has combined her desire to create an inspiring space for children with her experiences in multiple industries, with the hope of connecting families throughout the region. In this interview, Erin shares her belief that having a vision is everything:  “Your creativity and your ability to envision what something could be like can be so powerful, and it can take you so far.”   For 23 minutes of empowerment, just hit that download button.  #childrensmuseum #education #community
