River Runner’s Hall of Fame
Author: Janet Smoak
Our Boat Room tells the story of river runners on the Colorado Plateau, and the evolution of river boats in this region. Each boat offers insight into the unique spirit of river running in the U.S. West, and allows visitors the opportunity to look into the past at the different ways men and women traveled down these rivers throughout history.

Dinosaur Exhibit
Southeastern Utah is prime territory for finding fossils. As part of the famed “Dinosaur Diamond”, you can travel just a few miles outside of Green River and be amongst dinosaur bones! If you don’t want to go fossil hunting, however, you can find plenty of dinosaurs on the bottom floor of the museum.

Crossroads of the West
While there is a wealth of knowledge to be gained inside the museum, there is plenty to see before you even enter the building. The outdoor museum pavilion is the foreground to stunning views of Green River’s mesas and buttes. It is a great place to have a picnic, enjoy the views, and read about Green River’s local history.
