The Prehistoric Museum at Utah State University Eastern

The Prehistoric Museum at USU Eastern is located in downtown Price, and is loved by locals and visitors alike. The museum offers extensive exhibits in paleontology, archaeology, and geology and features a number of full body dinosaur mounts, including the Utahraptor, the Allosaurus, and the largest mounted ankylosaur skeleton, Peloroplites. Visitors love viewing real dinosaur bone throughout this hall.

In the Hall of Archaeology you will find the world-renowned Pilling Figurines, some of the most pristine and ornate examples of clay Fremont figurines in existence. Exhibits talk about the research and cultural importance of these items, as well as the basketry, pottery, hunting implements, stone tools, and skeletons of several Ice Age mammals that are on display.

For the little ones, there is a Discovery Area which has a delightful dinosaur “dig”, child-sized pithouse, and other hands-on activities. The museum art gallery hosts several art exhibitions per year. The Prehistoric Museum is your one-stop destination to discover eastern Utah’s prehistory.
