In 1976 the Museum was founded as the "Rhode Island Children's Museum," the first and currently the only children's museum in the state. Originally, the Pawtucket Congregational Church leased its Pitcher-Goff House to the museum, and the building was renovated with exhibits, play spaces, and activities for children and opened in 1977. In 1997 the museum was renamed the "Providence Children's Museum" and opened its new South Street facility in Providence.[2][3]1
