Welborn Chevrolet of Rome - Welborn Automotive Joins the Children's Museum of Rome at Mount Berry Mall
Most kids have ridden along to a dealership at some point, but very few have had the chance to see what happens on the other side of the service bay doors. At the new Children's Museum of Rome, they can. Welborn Automotive Group had the opportunity to contribute to the museum, and all of us at Welborn Chevrolet of Rome are proud to see our family's name on a space built entirely for local children.
About the Children's Museum of Rome
Located inside Mount Berry Mall, the Children's Museum of Rome is a nonprofit, interactive space where kids learn through play. The exhibits are modeled on the careers and industries represented right here in Rome, so children can experience a little of what the grown-ups in their lives do every day.
It is a place where curiosity is the whole point. Kids are encouraged to touch, build, pretend, and ask as many questions as they like.
A Dealership Made for Little Hands
The Welborn Automotive exhibit looks like a dealership that has been shrunk down to kid size. Three storefronts sit side by side under the Welborn Automotive Group sign, marked Express, Service, and Sales. In the service bay, a red car is raised up on a lift with a creeper on the floor beneath it, ready for the next young technician to roll underneath.
Around the exhibit, simple signs share facts about how cars work, including the idea that a car has a computer that works like a brain. It is the kind of detail that sticks with a child long after the visit is over.
During our visit, members of the Welborn team walked through the rest of the museum as well. Here is what families can expect from a visit:
- Hands-on exhibits built for children to touch and explore
- Pretend-play spaces based on real careers in the Rome community
- Learning moments that parents and grandparents can share with their kids
- A familiar local feel, with exhibits supported by Rome-area businesses
Rooted in Rome
Welborn Automotive is a family-owned business now in its fourth generation. Rome is where our team members live, where our kids go to school, and where our customers become friends. Contributing to a space created for local children and families is one small way of giving back to a community that has given our family so much.
We hope the exhibit sparks an interest in how things work, and maybe even plants the seed for a future technician, service advisor, or engineer. Mostly, we hope it gives local kids a fun afternoon with the people they love.
