About us
We are located between the towns of Oakley and Scott City, Kansas on US 83 overlooking the Smoky Hill valley and the Badlands of Kansas region.

We are all native Kansans who are well informed about our state and can help you with any questions you may have regarding travel plans and historical information.

Since our inception, we have hosted over 60,000 visitors from fascinating backgrounds, including many states and foreign countries. Our visitors’ interests vary widely; they include the local Monument Rocks formation, Kansas fossils, and the various fossils and minerals for sale in the gallery. Some visitors just stop by out of curiosity about the building’s history or the buffalo herd.

We also offer guided fossil hunts for adventurous people who want to unearth prehistoric creatures.
