The Lowell Milken Center for Unsung Heroes will host a Dinosaur Fossil Exhibit honoring Unsung Hero Mary Anning starting June 15^th through July 11^th! The Lowell Milken Center for Unsung Heroes is at 1 South Main Street in Fort Scott, Kansas. The museum is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m., and Saturday from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. The Center is closed Sundays. Admission is free and all are welcome.

Anning was an English pioneering fossil collector and paleontologist. Her discoveries were some of the most important geological finds of all time, and yet she never received the credit that she was due because of her gender, education, and economic status. The exhibit will include fossils from the Quetzalcoatlus, Tropeognathus, Ichthyosaurus, Triceratops, Apatosaurus, Protoceratops, Zuniceratops, and Stegoceras!

A presentation by paleontologist Megan Sims from the University of Kansas Natural History Museum is planned for late June, and the Fort Scott Public Library Summer Reading program will be at the Milken Center on Thursday, June 25^th for Dinosaur Read-alouds!
