Digging Geology!!
The Besser Museum for Northeast Michigan seeks to inspire curiosity, foster community pride, and cultivate independent legacy through art, history, and science, so the Lafarge Fossil Park exhibit is a perfect fit.
The Fossil Park exhibit contains fossil material generously donated by Lafarge Alpena Plant and Specification Stone Products of Alpena. The Fossil Park is accessible Monday-Saturday 10 a.m.-5 p.m., and Sundays 12-5p.m. in the summer. However, the Lafarge Fossil Park is accessible to the public dawn to dusk.
Your visit may be best enjoyed if you: expect to get a little dirty, wear footwear for all terrain, and bring a small screwdriver-type implement for prying, and a tote for hauling home your fossil finds. Happy collecting!
