Mammoth Site

     Although the scientific and historical importance of this project is most impressive, it is also a fascinating place for interested visitors.  Be grateful that the people who were planning to build a housing project found the remains of these extraordinarily huge, now extinct Columbian Mammoths.  They also had the good sense and were generous enough to make sure the excavation of this historical treasure was continued and  preserved exactly where it was found.  A visit to this ongoing "dig" can increase knowledge and stimulate awe in adults while encouraging children to ask questions and explore.  Picture taking is encouraged.
