About this Event
Did you know that Colorado was once covered by an ocean millions of years ago? Or that there are fossils of dinosaurs and tropical forests preserved right here in Aurora? Come learn about ancient Colorado from Dr. Gussie Maccracken, Curator of Paleobotany at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, and see for yourself how our state has changed through time!
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.
