Kids should enjoy crawling around the dinosaur cave that JMU students created for them. Equally interesting are the collections of Native American relics, seashells, birds and butterflies from around the world. The museum is open from 9 AM to 3 PM Monday through Friday and from 9 AM to noon on Saturdays during the academic year. The times may vary because the museum is staffed by student volunteers, so you may want to call ahead before you make a trip. During the summer, guided tours are available by appointment only.
Admission is free.
What appear to be loopholes set in the house's stone walls for firing rifles at Indians gave rise to the name Fort Harrison. Free guided tours are available. The house is open 1 to 4 PM on weekends from late May through October and for special events in November to April. The house also hosts community events such as the Dayton Autumn Festival in October, the Christmas Craft Show at Thanksgiving and the 12th Night Celebration in January. Cemetery Va. Rt.
