In celebration of The 25th anniversary of the Huntington Mammoth’s discovery, the Prehistoric Museum invites you to attend an event in honor of the mammoth’s unearthing.

Be among the first to see three newly renovated exhibits that museum staff have been updating for this occasion.  These exhibits will be unveiled at the beginning of the event and focus on the Ice Age, Huntington Mammoth, and Paleoindians.

Immediately following the exhibit opening, the museum’s own Curator of Archaeology Dr. Tim Riley will share a video about the mammoth’s discovery and give a short lecture about the current research being done on the mammoth.

Castle Valley Archaeological Society (CVAS) will also sponsor a reception after the lecture.  This is a fantastic opportunity to celebrate such an important specimen.
