MARCH'S FIRST SATURDAY OPEN HOUSE

The Natural History Road Show!

Are you a 21st century naturalist? Do you have natural materials collected on a personal expedition but can't figure out the scientific classification for your findings? Come have your specimens identified by a panel of experts at the Wagner’s Natural History Road Show! Visitors can meet and chat with scientists who specialize in insects, fossils, bones, shells, rocks, and minerals. If you don’t have a specimen to bring, see if you can stump the panelists with one of ours.

Our panelists include professor of biology Dr. Jason Downs, entomologist Greg Cowper, and others to be announced soon!

Additional activities throughout the day include exploring our natural history collection, completing a scavenger hunt, drawing in the museum, and digging up and identifying different types of shark teeth! Visitors may even take their found shark tooth home with them.
