Behind the Scenes Paleontology Tour
Older learners looking for a more in-depth experience might consider this behind-the-scenes tour of the Gray Fossil Site & Museum facilities. In this program, one of our paleontologists will lead your group out onto the Gray Fossil Site itself and inside our fossil laboratories. It’s a great opportunity to learn about paleontology, geology, and ancient history in the Appalachian region.
Please be aware that due to pandemic safety precautions, some portions of the behind-the-scenes tour might be unavailable.
