Dinosaur National Monument Officials Announce monument Opening

Dinosaur National Monument Officials have set a date for the grand opening of the new Quarry Visitor's Center and Quarry Exhibit Hall. October 4th will be the Monument's 96th anniversary, and spokesperson Mary Risser says holding the grand opening on that date would be a great way to celebrate. The Warry Visitors Center had to be torn down and rebuilt because of structural instability. It offers information on the history of the area, from the days when dinosaurs roamed the area to the present. The monument itself boasts petroglyphs, homesteading history, and many miles of trails and river on 80 acres. Although the grand opening is set for October, the center will open to the public as soon as the work is done.
