Small, free museum on the main square. Very friendly and talkative owner.

We love this small but rich museum! It has to much history in it! And let me tell you about the lady, she's the best! It was our last visit before leaving Glen Rose, and we just loved and enjoyed so much! Our kids were so happy and trilled to hear and see everything! The entrance it's free, but they accept donations, so don't hesitate on helping!

Awesome little museum! Tons of local artifacts and the lady volunteering definitely knows her history. Basically had our own personal guide which was really nice of her. We even talked to one of the volunteers for the garden outside and she shared some good gardening info about local plants. Our girls also loved following the painted Dino tracks outside to the actual Dino track. Definitely check this little museum out!

A must see when you visit Glen Rose! It’s a FREE admission museum, it’s small but packed with so many great things to look at and learn about! The people there were so friendly and gave the kids a free fossil too! We were very impressed and very appreciative. We will definitely go again the next time we visit Glen Rose!

A great little museum! This place is rich in history and the treasure to the community. We were provided an overview of the museum exhibits by one off the museum directors (she was awesome!). This stop is certainly worth your time and provides lots of insight to the history of the area. The museum is free, but accepts donations.

When we got there it was closed so we could not go inside but definitely 5 stars for their cute garden and diniassor track. We will check it out next time we drive by Glen Rose! Lovely town to visit for sure🦖🦕
