The Cheshire Children’s Museum in Keene has added sponsors to three exhibits sure to capture young patrons’ imaginations.
In the updated auto service area, sponsored by Hamlin Insurance Agency (formerly Campbell & Boyd), children can change the tires on, check the oil in, and buckle up aboard a Jeep built by museum employee Stephen Carter.
At the museum’s new food-truck exhibit, sponsored by Cheshire Village Pizza, kids can whip up pretend pizza and ice cream. And, thanks to a sponsorship by First Student bus company, the museum now has its very own mini yellow school bus.

“The credit really goes to Denise LaPlante and Laszlo Kovacs for making this happen,” First Student’s Paula Leslie said in a news release Friday, of the bus. “We are overjoyed to be part of the museum!”
From its space at the Center at Colony Mill — a plaza more commonly known by its former name, The Center at Keene — the exhibits at the Cheshire Children’s Museum foster learning through imaginative play.
The school bus, for example, will help budding scholars prepare to start riding a school bus in real life, museum Executive Director Deb Ganley noted in Friday’s news release. The auto service exhibit teaches car safety, and playing with pictures of pizza slices is a natural (and tasty-looking) way to learn about fractions.
