The 33,000 square foot fossil museum in Gray, TN is now open -- and full of amazing sights. The building itself is architecturally beautiful -- it's modern "building block" design somehow works to compliment the prehistoric artifacts and exhibits within. The price of admission is right: FREE! That's the price for a self-guided tour of the permanent exhibits. For a guided tour of the museum and the actual fossil site the cost is $5 for adults, $4 for those age 65 and older and $3 for children ages 5-12. Check out their new website!
