Description

Elevation: 992 ft.

The Virginia Museum of Natural History in Martinsville provides the visitor with a closer look at the geology and history of the area. The museum hosts extensive fossil, geologic, insect, and mammal collections, as well as special exhibits that serve as valuable resources for ongoing Virginia natural history research. The site is an important one for anyone interested in the natural processes that have created the environment we see today. Bird species found here are much the same as those at neighboring J.
