Explore Indiana's Dinosaur Trail At The Clarksville History Museum & At The Ohio Interpretive Center, By Eric Worley & Josh Schubert

Digging up some history in Indiana is often a adventure for dinosaur lovers. Travel South of Indianapolis to the Clarksville History Museum, located along the Ohio River shoreline at 2000 W. Broadway and you'll find plenty of prehistoric fun.

Uncover the facts behind the hundreds of fossils, including dinosaurs, fish, mammals and assorted reptiles, birds and invertebrates on exhibit. Many of these dinosaur fossils on display were found in eastern Wyoming and date to between 65 to 70 million years ago. These extraordinary specimens on loan to the Clarksville History Museum are part of the private collection of Jack Hankla, of Danville, Ky.

Follow the footsteps of these massive creatures at the world's largest naturally exposed fossil beds near The Falls of the Ohio Interpretive Center. Fossils found within the bed date back almost 400 million years. Visitors can also explore more about the history of glaciers, local wildlife, steamboats and famous explorers like Lewis and Clark at The Falls of the Ohio Interpretive Center. Interpretive Center hours are Monday - Saturday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Sunday 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
