The first of five talks in the Big Horn Basin Dinosaur and Geoscience Museum’s summer lecture series will focus on the vision to open a 3,000 square foot museum on the east side of the current Greybull library and museum building.
Dr. Erik Kvale and Nolan O’Neill, who serve on the BHBDGM’s board of directors, and Greybull Town Administrator Carrie Hunt will provide an update on the project Monday, April 29 at 6 p.m. in the meeting room at the library. They will address the questions: Why do we want it? What will it look like? What is it going to contain?
Here’s the schedule for the rest of the summer. All talks will be at the same time and location.
