Onslow County Museum hosts interactive exhibit highlighting local wildlife and activities

Onslow County is gearing up for an exciting summer with two upcoming workshops aimed at enhancing community engagement and education. Scheduled for July 8 and July 10, these sessions will provide residents with hands-on training to navigate a new portal designed to streamline services. County officials emphasized the importance of these workshops, encouraging participation to ensure everyone feels comfortable using the new system. “We want everybody to feel comfortable with it,” said a county representative, highlighting the ongoing commitment to improving daily operations for residents.

In addition to the workshops, the Onslow County Museum is unveiling a vibrant new exhibit inspired by the local natural landscape. Emily Baker, the exhibit's creator, shared that it features interactive displays showcasing the plants and animals native to the area. Families can visit the museum Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM, and Saturdays from 10 AM to 4 PM. Admission is free for military families, while a family fun summer pass is available for just $15, allowing unlimited visits throughout the exhibit's run.

The exhibit promises to be an engaging experience, complete with sounds of local wildlife and interactive toys for children. “We want you to come and play,” Baker stated, inviting families to explore the wonders of Onslow County’s natural heritage in a fun and educational environment.

As Onslow County continues to celebrate its 25-year legacy of community service, residents are encouraged to stay connected through the county's website and social media for updates on these initiatives and more.
