Homer's Odyssey: From the Badlands to Burpee GRAND OPENING!

Join us as we unveil the much anticipated Homer's Odyssey exhibit at Burpee Museum. Homer's Odyssey is the product of more than eight years of work - from the discovery of the first bones in the badlands near Ekalaka, Montana, to the preparation and reconstruction of the fossils in the lab, and finally the development of a new, permanent exhibit.      Homer, Burpee's "teen-aged" Triceratops, is ready for his story to be told.
