St. George Dinosaur Discovery Site at Johnson Farm

St. George, Utah, is home to the state's amazing St. George Dinosaur Discovery Site, Johnson Farm. The museum and research center attracts curious tourists in the thousands each year. It houses many old and well-preserved dinosaur exhibits, including tracks that were recently discovered there just about seven years ago.

The St. George Dinosaur Discovery Site, Johnson Farm, is located in St. George, Utah. The farm acts as both a scientific research facility and open-air/indoor museum combined, welcoming many thousands of visitors annually. Exhibits are definitely inspiring and recent discoveries are carefully preserved for all to see.

The farm's collection has tracks that range from a few centimeters to over a foot in length, including not only dinosaur footprints, but swimming imprints and drags marks left behind by dinosaur tails. In total, a thousand tracks have been discovered there over the years, found mainly in the nearby sandstone formations nearby. In fact, it is possible to walk through the area and still catch a glimpse of tracks yet to be removed and preserved in the museum.

Interestingly enough, locals have been climbing and walking over these tracks, unaware of what lay beneath their feet. Some of them are as old as 205,000,000 years. In fact, if it had not been for a local doctor, these tracks may have remained undiscovered for much longer.

The farm is open daily, except Sundays, from 10am to 6pm. Admission is by donation, but special tours can be arranged in advance for larger groups, including school field trips.
