(KLZA)-- The largest project included in the Nebraska 150 Celebration is coming to Falls City.

Nebraska First Lady Susanne Shore announced the “Truckin” Through Nebraska: A Mobile Children’s Museum” will make stops in Falls City, Nebraska City and Beatrice in Southeast Nebraska.

The Mobile Children’s Museum was created to provide a fun, hands-on learning experience for children who may not normally be able to easily access a children’s museum.

Children will be able to explore their heritage and envision their futures through play, interactivity and the latest technology.

The display is contained in a 53-foot state-of-the-art custom air-ride, double-expandable trailer specially designed for traveling museum exhibits. The unit is ADA accessible.

A wind chamber and earthquake simulator will be part of the trailer and exhibits will surround the exterior of the trailer.

The Mobile Children’s Museum will begin it’s journey in early April. The tour dates and hours of operation will be announced in the coming weeks.

The exhibits are intended for children 5-12 years of age but audiences of all ages are welcome. Admittance will be free and it is open to the public.
