Jesuslover340 Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Very nice museum I enjoy seeing actual fossils and skeletons of prehistoric animals you don't typically get to see out in my region "Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another."-Romans 14:19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 This museum is what got me started in fossils... In 1982. And it still looks the same as back then. I have been there quite a few times since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your comments affirm the important role that small, local and regional museums have on the public (not to mention their role as repositories for scientifically valuable specimens). It's a shame that many lose funding and close. It's also a shame that natural history and associated natural history collections have been marginalized at many colleges. In the late 1800s, almost every college had a natural history museum. Now most are gone, and other smaller museums often go under as well and transfer specimens (hopefully) to larger museums. The consolidation saves the specimens, but we not only lose the convenience of local collections for study, but also those intangible, sometimes life-changing benefits that public displays provide to all of us. There's always video games to fill the void, I guess... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
