Glenrock Paleontological Museum
The Glenrock Paleontological Museum and Dr. Robert T. Bakker Education Center provides the community with a trip into the dinosaur age of our area with Lady Stephanie at the helm.  Lady Stephanie is a Triceratops that was discovered 5 miles north of Glenrock in 1994.  She is the ‘first-lady’ of the local museum and an attraction not to be missed.  The museum is concerned with the process of cleaning, preparing and exhibiting fossil remains.  Displays include not only numerous Wyoming dinosaurs, but also fossilized mammals, small reptiles, and fish from several unique, one-of-a-kind housed at the museum that makes it a destination for many travelers.  In addition to the material museum, the “Paleon” is one of the few facilities where visitors can walk through the preparation lab to see the fossils being cleaned, repaired, and assembled.  Visitors can also see the process of making casts of important specimens which are used for research at other institutions.  Questions are welcome!!

The Glenrock Paleontological Museum is located at 506 W. Birch Street.
