Victorian Paleontology
Have you ever looked at a dinosaur skeleton and wondered what ancient people thought these giant bones were? Join FSHP to discover the history of how the scientific study of ancient life on Earth, or paleontology, helped usher in a new era in the American story! Explore through a Victorian lady’s Cabinet of Curiosities where you can see real fossils, early paleo art, and learn how Indigenous American cultural stories, Ancient Greek legends, Founding Fathers, African knowledge, and Wild West explorers all contributed to how we understand the era of the dinosaur and Ice Age Mastodons! This program is FREE to the public. Stop in any time between 10 AM - 3 PM
