The dinosaurs are arranged in chronological order, so visitors can see 100 million years of dinosaur evolution in 70 feet. We have an outstanding collection of minerals. Larry League said that while young children like to see the dinosaurs, most of the adults are fascinated by the collection of rocks and minerals. The core of the museum is the Leagues' personal collection, which they accumulated over 30 years. The dinosaurs are geared more toward the kids.
People come in and the older people, the middle-aged people, they like the minerals.
People who travel all over the world tell us that we have one of the nicest mineral collections they've ever seen. The museum receives between 23,000 and 25,000 visitors every summer from all 50 states and many countries. Alice League said the museum had visitors from the Netherlands and England recently. Another paleontology collection is housed in the Pioneer Trails Regional Museum in Bowman. The museum was established in 1991 and quickly became an important facility for collecting and housing the important fossils found in the area.
