Introducing Eddie Brigham and the Kingman Adventure Club
Get ready for adventure.
Eddie Brigham and the Kingman Adventure Club is a brand-new experience from Kingman Museum of Natural History, created for curious kids who love to explore, discover, and learn.
Eddie is a young explorer with a big imagination and a strong sense of curiosity. Alongside his playful polar bear cub, Polaris, and a diverse group of friends, Eddie sets out on exciting expeditions to uncover the wonders of natural history, science, and culture.
From forests and fossils to stars and science experiments, every adventure is a chance to ask questions, solve mysteries, and learn something new about the world around us.
Learn Through Adventure
Each journey with the Kingman Adventure Club is built around real science and discovery. Kids will explore nature and wildlife, learn how the world works through hands-on discovery, experience ideas from science, history, and culture, and build curiosity, creativity, and confidence.
Whether tracking animals, studying rocks, or exploring the night sky, every adventure brings learning to life.
The adventure continues beyond the museum.
A companion app for Eddie Brigham and the Kingman Adventure Club is coming soon. Kids and families will be able to go on interactive expeditions, unlock new adventures and challenges, learn through games and exploration, and connect real-world experiences with digital discovery.
Join the Adventure
Eddie Brigham and the Kingman Adventure Club invites kids to become explorers, ask big questions, and discover the world in new ways.
Adventure is waiting.
Volunteer Kickoff Sunday April 26th
As we move forward as Kingman Museum of Natural History, we are building something that is truly community powered. Your time, ideas, and energy are what will shape the future of this museum.
I’m excited to invite you to our Volunteer Kickoff Meeting.
We’ll be gathering at New Holland Brewing – Battle Creek Brewpub on Sunday, April 26 from 2:00 to 4:00 PM. Kingman will be providing snacks.
The meeting itself will run about 1 hour and 15 minutes, where we will:
Share the strategic vision for Kingman Museum of Natural History
Talk through how we are building a community powered organization
Outline immediate volunteer needs and opportunities to get involved
We’ll then leave about 45 minutes to connect, meet one another, and build the relationships that will carry this work forward.
This is more than a meeting. It is the start of a volunteer-driven movement to bring Kingman back as a vibrant, living museum for our community.
Please let me know if you can attend.
Thank you for being part of this.
Volunteer Driven – Community Powered
A Community Museum Rooted in Discovery
Kingman Museum has served the Battle Creek community for generations as a place of learning, exploration, and connection. Today, we are reimagining what a museum can be. Our work brings together natural history, science, and culture to create experiences that are engaging, relevant, and accessible to all.
Through exhibits, educational programs, and community partnerships, we aim to inspire curiosity and lifelong learning. From the biodiversity of Southwest Michigan to the broader story of our planet, Kingman Museum helps visitors understand their place in the past, present, and future.
