"In 1982 a coffee and tea shop was opened in the three-story brick mansion. Two rooms of the house, which was once a studio used by voice and piano instructor Martha Roberts, were redecorated. The rooms' decor capitalizes on the beveled and stained glass windows, hardwood floors and carved French doors of the 1890s home."

"After several years in the planning, a Quaint Corner children's museum now occupies most of the remainder of the historical site."

--Debbie Epple, Altoona Mirror, 1987.

Mission Statement

"The mission is to expose as many children as possible to the fun of learning through a hands-on approach and to emphasize the importance of family values, caring about the community, and growing up to be productive members of society."

Reason for the Museum

"The Museum was founded: to promote creative thought in children, to foster appreciation of history, art and science through a hands-on approach, to increase an awareness of the cultural richness of early Altoona, and to motivate the community to become involved in this on-going cultural pursuit."
