This popular community event, co-sponsored by Wegman's, is free to the public. PRI's regular exhibits remain open until 4pm. Times remain the same. Each month PRI offers its members and the public an opportunity to learn something new while viewing our exhibits. Throughout the winter and early spring the program also includes one-hour presentations given by PRI scientific staff on topics on Earth and life.
Lectures begin at noon.
In addition, each second Saturday you can bring in your fossils for identification by a PRI staff paleontologist. September 8th Field Trips Come with PRI on a trip backward through time. We will collect fossils at five sites from May to September, each site containing successively older fossils from about 370 million back to about 450 million years old. Easy, on-site registration.
