About the event

National Fossil Day
Join us at the Allen County Museum to celebrate National Fossil Day and discover the fascinating fossils found right here in our region! In partnership with a professor from Ohio State University at Lima, the museum will be buzzing with hands-on activities for all ages—dig for fossils, create fossil-themed crafts, and explore learning stations that showcase everything from towering dinosaurs to delicate shells.

The Children’s Discovery Center will be open throughout the event, offering interactive stations designed to spark curiosity and excitement.

Special programs include:

Hands-on fossil presentation (2:05–2:35 p.m.): Get up close with real fossils and detailed recreations you can touch and explore, learning about fossils significant to northwest Ohio—including Ohio’s two official state fossils.

Guided fossil tour (2:40–2:55 p.m.): Walk through the museum’s fossil section and uncover the stories behind different specimens.

This is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to step into the ancient world, connect with local history, and celebrate the wonders preserved in stone.

This event is free!
