2025 marks the 10 year anniversary of our grand opening.

To commemorate this moment, we set out to document the stories of individuals from our region who have played a pivotal role in dinosaur research. From the early 1900s through to 2025, both scientists and enthusiasts alike have dedicated their time and expertise to this amazing field.
