You can bring home your own handmade replicas and learn a little bit about where they lived and why they are important. You will also be able to make a range of fossil rubbings with the casts. The museum has fossils that were collected by local antiquarian, Rev Canon J.C Rutherford and you will be able to see these and other local fossils, such as ammonites and sea urchins.
