Walking through our galleries you'll admire the stunning beauty of nature's artwork while learning about the geological processes that create them.

It's the perfect tour for science enthusiasts, rockhounds, or anyone who has driven past us on highway 26 and wondered what that mid-century modern home was in the middle of the farmland!
