A visit to the Museum is both educational and inspiring. There are many exhibits with excellent descriptions. They depict the Wyoming area as a function of time beginning with the dinosaurs. And BTW there is a complete skeleton of a large dinosaur standing guard over the Museum. The exhibits are interactive and hence provide the most in self=education, There an a knowledgeable attendant to answer questions. The museum is located as an adjunct to the S.H.
