Virtual Presentation of the Jim Henson Museum

We, in Washington County, very proudly claim the legendary Jim Henson as our own! Born in Greenville, Jim’s early years were spent playing on the banks of Deer Creek in Leland. Later, he created the family of Muppets that entertained and educated younger children. The Muppets and their interactions with children changed education as we knew it at the time. Today, Jim’s characters continue teaching young children the alphabet, how to count and other educational concepts. And through the years, the Muppets and their friends have taught, by example, Jim Henson’s acceptance of diversity and differences in others.

At 5:30 p.m., on Friday, February 12, join Greenville Arts Council online for a virtual presentation by Mrs. Mary Boteler, as she offers a tour of the Jim Henson Museum, Leland, MS. Dr. Debra Dace, Superintendent of Greenville Public Schools, will also discuss the importance of early childhood education.

A link to the video will be emailed Friday afternoon. The video may also be accessed via their website.  Contact their office at 662-332-2246 for more information.
