My Father's Dragon, written by Ruth Stiles Gannett and illustrated by her stepmother Ruth Chrisman Gannett, is a beloved classic and well-loved tale of Elmer Elevator, who travels to the island of Tangerina to rescue a baby dragon, indentured by the other island residents as a means of traveling across the river. Elmer must outsmart a series of animal guardians on the way to rescuing the dragon....it's a good thing he packed chewing gum, two dozen pink lollipops, a package of rubber bands, a compass, a toothbrush and a tube of toothpaste, six magnifying glasses, a very sharp jackknife, a comb and a hairbrush, seven hair ribbons of different colors, an empty grain bag with a label saying "Cranberry," some clean clothes, twenty five peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and six apples. My Father's Dragon is a a chapter book with an engaging story that helps young readers take the leap to lengthier storytelling.

In 2021, we also saw the resumption of significant capital funding from a variety of sources. Capital funding had all but ceased during the first year of the pandemic so we had to pause our final phase of building renovations for the museum. We’re happy to report that building renovations are set to begin again in February. This, together with our rapidly expanding exhibit agenda and growing fabrication team, puts us back on course for a 2023 opening! Yay.
