Imagination Station Science & History Museum is an interactive science museum located in downtown Wilson, North Carolina at 224 East Nash Street. It is housed in the former Wilson Federal Building which served as a post office with a federal courthouse of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina from its construction in 1928.
