DinoWalk 2024

August 24 @ 7:45 am - 2:15 pm

Illustration of two green and black striped dinosaurs with sharp teeth, walking on a sandy terrain under a partly cloudy sky. The "Dino Walk" showcases the dinosaurs moving in the same direction, with one slightly ahead of the other.

Each year the Museum partners with the local Luck Stone Quarry to provide a public access day to view Culpeper’s famous dinosaur footprints! More than 215 million years ago, during the Triassic Period, giant beasts roamed the region that we call home today. Then, in 1989, evidence of their existence was discovered at the bottom of the quarry. Discover the largest quantity of dinosaur footprints discovered in North America on this special day.

Vehicle passes are available for hourly timed tours. Each pass provides entry to one vehicle and its occupants. Due to limited space in the parking area, vehicles must be no larger than a 15 passenger van. Each pass will also provide family admission to the Museum of Culpeper History in downtown Culpeper for FREE.

PLEASE NOTE: The Museum of Culpeper History offers the DinoWalk program once per year.  The museum is unable to organize group tours outside of the listed program dates.
