SIOUX CITY — The Children’s Museum of Siouxland in Sioux City has broken ground after a decade of planning.
A crowd gathered on Wednesday for the ceremony at the downtown location where children ceremoniously shovel dirt. The museum is intended to provide interactive learning experiences for children ages 6 months to 10 years. Officials say the $7 million museum is slated for a summer 2015 opening.
It was awarded a $900,000 state grant in April.
The demolition on the building that the museum will replace is ongoing.
