Morrison Natural History Museum of Morison, Colorado will be celebrating Stegosaurus Day on Saturday, April 26, 2025 10 AM - 5 PM MST. It will host a variety of kid-friendly activities by several organizations including Dinosaur Ridge and the Colorado School of Mines. Stegosaurus is the state fossil of Colorado. It gained that designation when 4th-Graders in Adams County proposed a bill that Governor Lamb signed in 1982. The iconic dinosaur with “the brain the size of a walnut” was first discovered in the town of Morrison in the 1870s by Arthur Lakes. The small museum exists partly to commemorate the Jurassic geological group spanning several western states named after the town: the Morrison Formation. I will be volunteering as a docent introducing the first infant and adult stegosaurus trackways discovered in Morrison in the mid-2000s. If you’ve got kids and will be in the area, it should be a fun and educational outing.
