tropical sea. Dealing with the life of past geological periods, the
zoology of birds, the objects outside Earth's atmosphere and related field
activities, the HNHS promotes our natural history.
The site is open to the
public during scheduled visiting hours and by reservation. Enter from Big
Tree Road to Bristol Road into
Steelton Neighborhood.
