Museum Seminar Series – Miocene Period

Twenty-five million years ago, North America was a very different place. Over the course of the Miocene Epoch, changes in climate altered the landscape and prompted large–scale adaptation, migration, and extinction of lifeforms. Join Dr. Steve Fields, Museum of York County Curator for a 3-class series on this fascinating look at our natural history. Advanced Registration Required.

Well worth the cost of admission and great for the kiddos. The planetarium is the icing on the cake. Great little show and presentation. Highly recommmended!
