Fossils are evidence of ancient life, and you can make your own fossil replica before hiking the preserve, learning about Illinois’ past and different types of fossils and how they form. Afterward, head indoors to view a collection of fossils that have been found locally. Any fossil replicas made before the hike will be set and ready to take home at the end of program.
