The Bucks County Children’s Museum recently reopened after refurbishing half of its 10,000-square-feet of exhibit space. Among the brand-new spaces to open is a pretend place service station that represents Fred Beans’ earliest business venture as owner of the Big Oak service station in Yardley. The exhibit debuted at the 50th anniversary mark of the Fred Beans Automotive Group - an ideal time to reflect on the past.
Seeing the re-created service station was especially emotional for the Beans family. The attention to detail jogged fond memories of the station and Fred’s earliest days in business.
Now, the Beans family is excited to share a part of their past with the youngest members of the community and invite the kids to explore the automotive industry. The space may even spark an interest among some to follow in Fred’s footsteps.
Fred Beans Automotive Group supports the museum through the company’s annual participation in the Pennsylvania educational improvement tax credit program (EITC). The entire Beans family and organization appreciate the museum and its leadership for the love they put into creating a space for the whole community to enjoy and cherish.
The Big Oak play area and other new exhibits are featured in the Bucks County Herald.
