Tate Geological Museum

 Exhibits include minerals and fossils of sea animals, dinosaurs, and mammals. Some of the displays are casts of fossils but many are true fossils of animals that lived in Wyoming over millions of years. The museum staff are very knowledgeable and can answer any questions.

A lot of fossils and informative exhibits are packed into this one room museum but the star is the rare, almost complete fossil of a Colombian Mammoth that lived to be 65 to 70 years old and most likely died of old age. 
The museum is accessible. A few of the exhibits and informative cards are at angles that make them hard to see from a seated position. 

The parking lot is large enough for any vehicle. Museum  42.82591, -106.32876
