Renovation of the Earth Science Museum is underway
The gardens and grounds, Granite Hill Nursery, picnic areas and the Gift Shop will all remain open while the Earth Science Museum undergoes renovation. When complete the newly renovated museum will accommodate the extensive paleontology donation from The Roynon Foundation, and select paleontology specimens from Keith and Judy Roynon's personal collection. We expect to be complete this winter.
