Kilgus heads the New Bern Children's Museum

The Children’s Museum of New Bern has selected Taylor Kilgus as its inaugural executive director just a month before its planned opening to help wrap up final developments, manage donor relations and make important decisions about the museum’s direction. The Children’s Museum said in an announcement that Kilgus would take the reins on the project and help apply the finishing touches before it opens sometime in December, a little over a year after the New Bern Board of Aldermen voted unanimously to lease the city building at 408 Hancock St. in New Bern to the We Can Be Association for $1 a year for a five-year term to create the museum. The WCBA is a nonprofit established in 2020 in New Bern that provides financial assistance, therapy scholarships, equipment funding and out-of-pocket medical expense support for children with special needs throughout eastern North Carolina. Any proceeds made over the operating costs of the museum will go back toward WCBA’s original mission.
