There are big plans afoot for the Northeast Louisiana Children s Museum.
Museum Director Melissa Saye and Monroe Mayor Friday Eliis have announced via Facebook that the museum will move from its present location in downtown Monroe to a larger building to be constructed at Forsythe Park.
The museum, at 323 Walnut St., was founded in 1998 by Saye and Martha Ryan and has outgrown its current space.
The new museum will take the place of the R.D. Swayze Natatorium, a large swimming pool in the center of the park which has been closed for over two decades.
