Join Nick Wiersum from the Dinosaur Discovery Museum as we explore the local fossils of Kenosha’s lakeshore. Meet at the Kenosha Public Museum to learn about the prehistoric life that called this area home, discuss how to locate fossils, and then head out to the Simmon’s Island beach house to collect fossils of your own! All participants are responsible for providing their own transportation from the Museum to the collection site. The Museum will provide you with any tools you will need, including a collection bag, fossil guide, and magnifying glass.
