Below is a List of Things that have Been Removed from the museum.
Is someone starting a rival museum to be stocked with these items? Perhaps someone is decorating a corner of their house, tent or shed with items as a shrine to natural history. Maybe a kid needed something for share circle? What do you think?
The museum is now, as of Winter 2019, stocked with items affixed to the wall and also a variety of fossils people are encouraged to take.
