A treasure trove of fossil finds from millions of years ago. Active dig site. Can volunteer to help. Can see paleontology researchers actually working in the lab. Currently excavating legs of a mastodon. Small museum done well. See video first. Small fee. Can walk to excavation site. Spent about two hours.
