Fossils of many creatures were on display at the exhibit from moose heads and deer, to bald eagles and beavers, but the display everyone came to see, the partial skeleton of a real Woolly Mammoth.
“I have not seen mammoth bones before and the exhibit is really cool,” says Alton Becker
The parts of the fossilized skeleton were collected in Alaska over a number of years by an archeologist by the name of Dr. Charles breeze and it is the first to ever be displayed in the state of Maryland.
“Coming to see this exhibit is a huge opportunity to understand what our state was like before we were even here. Woolly Mammoths walked on the same ground that we walk on everyday and its not something a lot of us think about a lot so we really want to bring that awareness that we are apart of a huge natural heritage here in Maryland and this is only a small moment in it,” says Marisa Canino.
The event also had many fun activities for the whole family from a historical video about Woolly Mammoths to arts and crafts where kids got to make their own mammoth.
