The NEW Prairies gallery  offers a deep and layered view of history through geological time explores human connections to the land across thousands of years, with an eye to the future.

See some familiar iconic elements, such as the Pronghorn diorama, the tipi, and the Red River cabin and cart, but you’ll discover that their stories have been updated and enhanced.

New, exciting immersive experiences await! watch and listen to the flurry of birds at Whitewater Lake; examine layers of history in an eroding riverbank; and walk into an old-fashioned schoolhouse.

A visit to the NEW Prairies Gallery will leave you with a greater understanding of the history, biodiversity, and stunning landscapes of our smallest and most densely populated biome – the prairies.
