Big Bone Lick

Visitors to the Behringer-Crawford Museum can view excavated specimens from Big Bone Lick State Park in a display called “Kentucky on Ice.”  From its brochure:

“Trek through Kentucky during the last glacial period and learn about Ice Age geology and the great beasts of the Ice Age.  Experience the thrill of holding a Wooly Mammoth tooth, just as the first paleontologist who discovered it did.  Discuss the different theories of why these larger than life mammals died out.  Many specimens are on display for you to handle and investigate.”

The Behringer-Crawford Museum is located on 1600 Montague Road in Devou Park in Covington, Kentucky.  Call 859-491-4003 or email info@bcmuseum.org for more information.
