Did you know that the mammoth excavated in Kenosha County has rewritten history books ? Carbon dating of tool marks on bones placed humans in this area before previously dated.
Local prehistory is fascinating - dinosaurs , the ice age legacy, and the museum 's pièce de la resistance: the mammoth. There is also an after hours program on a variety of topics.
Located just 25 minutes from Milwaukee and 55 minutes from Chicago, The Kenosha Public Museums are a perfect destination for field trips for school kids of all ages. http://schoolfieldtripideas.com/
