Interpretive Museum
The Big Bone Lick area is a national treasure that has long been overlooked. Artifacts
from the area, which is known as the "Birthplace of American Paleontology", are on
display in museums all over the world, yet the area responsible for them does not have
a museum to display them. The Interpretive Museum, which has been part of the Park's
plans since 1972, will change that.
