Event details

If your crew can’t pass a gravel bar without pocketing “treasures,” Fossil Road Show is your kind of Saturday. Bring fossils, rocks, and shells to the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science and get help identifying what you found, plus kid-friendly demos that make deep time feel close.

Pair it with an easy afternoon loop around LeFleur’s Bluff for lake views and a picnic before the drive back.
