You may have seen one too many replica of structures and bones in museums and other famous exhibits but here is your chance to see and learn about a real one now that you are at one of the world’s most famous fossil excavation site which has been digging out saber-toothed tigers, dire wolves, mammoths which dates back as far as 40,000.
The museum is largely a rather small one, just a point to note, just in case our bus charter Los Angeles customers were expecting to see a huge mansion-like, glistening building. No, that is not what you are going to get but is that a reason to give visiting this Los Angeles gem a miss? We think not. For some of us who have been to Page Museum when we were kids, it brings back tons of memories when we step back into the place. It makes us a little sad too because some visitors dumped rubbish into the tar pits. We would like to remind charter bus Los Angeles to leave the museum the very same way you found it when you arrived.
Weekdays are great times to visit as some foreign visitors might make their way here during the weekends and because of the size of the museum, can make things a little uncomfortable for little kids. You don’t need to spend a whole lot of time here because whatever that you can see and learn about can be done in right about half an hour. So, make this an interesting, short charter bus Los Angeles pit stop, enroute to another tourist attraction.
You can find loads of information about the history of Page Museum on the internet but we think that you ought to know that the piece of land, which originally measured up to four thousand and four hundred acres, was given to Antonio Jose Rocha in 1828. The only condition tied to the gift was that it was to be kept open so that local residents could extract as much asphalt as they needed for personal use. Hancock Park was the man who, in 1924, gave a part of the park to Los Angeles County with pretty much the same condition with the addition for it to be a fossil exhibition center (museum).
It’s funny that when they started excavating bones after bones, they thought that they belonged to dead animals like your ordinary chicken, stock or even larger animals like elephants and tigers. In 1901, popular geologists, W.W. Orcutt and F.M. Anderson started collecting them for years and discovered the bones were of some extinct animals, namely bison, camel, condor, mammoth, ground sloth, smilodon and coyote.
Since it isn’t a very large museum, we think it will be worth your time checking out this extraordinary charter bus Los Angeles landmark museum.
