Tree of Make Believe

Once upon a time, in an enchanted forest, a fantastical music box rested on the gnarled roots of a wise old tree. Inside the music box, a princely cat with wistful eyes turned slowly to gentle music. He looked ahead with a gaze which hinted that he knew something the rest of the world didn’t. One evening an odd gust of wind whisked a flutter of purple petals along a cobblestone path that led straight to the music box. A stranger wandering the forest came upon it just as the song chimed its last notes. Looking up in awe, the stranger whispered, “This must be the Tree of Make Believe.” It has been said that those who hold the power of imagination most dear to their hearts are considered the greatest protectors of dreams and only they know how to find the hidden path that leads them to this sacred tree where they can whisper their secret stories and dreams into its gnarled roots. If they are true believers with a story in their hearts, the princely cat will step down from his throne and carve their initials into the tree to stay forevermore.  

Now you can show that you believe in the power of storytelling by having your name carved into Tree of Make Believe that will watch over our upcoming exhibit, “Ghost Stories & Fairy Tales.” As of one of the most special supporters of the Museum of Make Believe’s enchanted forest, we promise your carving will stay with us as we grow through the years on our journey! It is only for a limited time that your initials (or the initials of someone you would like to honor) can magically appear on our tree. Just visit our capital campaign to support the mission of the Museum in a donation of $250 per carving and own a piece of our Tree of Make Believe!
