A small museum you can visit for free! Totally worth checking out if you’re in the area! They have fossils and rock/mineral collections! Super cool if you have a half hour to spare!

A small compact museum with dinosaurs, fossils, minerals and few primitive animals. Its a good 1 hours for curious kids to look around. Thanks to the department of Geology to put an effort to keep and maintain it.

We had a fantastic visit and tour by Dale with our Scout troop of 10 girls. This free museum in historic Orton Hall is a treasure.

Hasn’t changed since I was a boy, but was a great place to bring my own sons- free, full of fascinating fossils, easy to get to from the Ohio Union parking garages, and while it’s small, it’s a good speed for curious kids (and adults)!

This is one place that I love so much. It is so near and dear to me because it is named after my 3rd great grandfather Edward Francis Baxter Orton.
