Another one that I am a small part of in western North Carolina is Momentum Science & Health Adventure Park in Asheville, NC. We just broke ground on December 1, 2008. More information can be found at www.momentumscience.org. Do you find this valuable?

Welcome to the Wiki, Michael.

I think the health and environment connections at your new museum send a great message. Feel free to update us here on your progress. I particularly am intrigued by "North America's very first Pedal-Powered Monorail in which you can pedal through the treetops for a bird's eye view of the campus! " Wish my son still had soccer tournaments down there so I could visit more easily when it's done. Cheers, SB
