Fauna
This trail opened in 1967. It featured 11 life size dinosaurs and was one of the first outdoor dino exhibits in the southeast. Museum curator Richard Wes off hand sculpted the models from plaster. The dinosaurs were based on scientific knowledge of the day. In 1966 hurricane Fran left the trail impassable but the Bronto can still be seen today. And it’s a showcase of the strides the science museum has taken and there is now a permeant trail at the museum.
