Trailside Museum of Natural History

The Trailside Museum of Natural History at Fort Robinson State Park features one of the most unique exhibits in the entire nation—the Clash of the Mammoths. Two gigantic bull mammoths were battling for dominance when their tusks became intertwined. Unable to separate, the pair eventually died in place and remained untouched for over 10,000 years.

The museum is open Thursday through Sunday from 10 am – 5 pm in April, May, September and October. Summer hours, which run from Memorial Day to Labor Day, are 9 am – 6 pm daily. The museum is closed from November through March, except by appointment.
