The fossils and general literature is in depth for everyone to read and experience. The museum is also very affordable for the entire family with the proceeds going to the community college."

We got there with probably 30-ish minutes before closing, and one of the ladies there was awesome enough to let us in for free! So many things to see and take in, an awesome step back into the past. Incredible displays, friendly staff, and a cute little gift shop (which of course my daughter left with a souvenir😆) Definitely recommended to check out, but make sure you get there with extra time to spare 🤣"

We recently took my parents on our way back from MO and they could not beleive the artifacts and history stored there. Don't miss it, it's worth the stop!"
