America's freedoms were shaped on the national stage and lived out in communities like ours.
Join us to explore how Quincy's own stories bring the Constitution to life in our new exhibit.

​Third Floor Exhibits

• ​Dinosaurs
  Head up to our third floor and enjoy exhibits designed for both children and adults. Wander through our Dinotopia exhibit and learn about dinosaurs. You can also handle replica fossils, put your foot in a cast of a dinosaur footprint and see real fossils.
  
  
• Mississippi Wildlife
  Our Mississippi Wildlife room takes you on a journey through local landscapes with local animal mounts such as deer, elk, bald eagles and other local creatures. Visit our river bottom and pond displays too. Kids will be fascinated when they look through our microscope at a rogue's gallery of nasty little creatures.
  
  
• Native Americans
  Don't miss our updated Native American Room! This room features lots of fun activities for children. Young visitors can play in our wickiup, carry babies on our cradle board, dress up in Native American clothing, play games and do activities. A large play table allows children to make their own Native American village. All the while, adults can enjoy viewing a wonderful selection of Native American artifacts that tell the story of the Native Americans who once lived in the Midwest.
