About this Event

The Lamb Spring Archaeological Preserve (LSAP) is an internationally significant archaeological site containing bone beds of extinct Ice Age animals and artifacts from later human occupation at the spring. Extinct Ice Age animals found at the site include over 30 Columbian Mammoths, the largest number known from any site in Colorado. It also contains the remains of Ice Age camels, horses, sloths, llamas, and wolves.

To complement our Prehistoric Aurora exhibit, the Aurora History Museum is thrilled to host a six-part Prehistoric Eras Tour! These engaging presentations will transport you through millions of years of natural history, from ancient seas filled with trilobites to the Ice Age landscapes of Colorado. Whether you’re a dinosaur lover, a geology buff, or simply curious about the world beneath your feet, this free series has something for everyone.
