The Naranjo Museum of Natural History is the result of a lifetime of collecting by Dr. Naranjo and a commitment to the education of inquisitive minds in East Texas.
The Naranjo Museum of Natural History will serve as a source of discovery and inspiration for East Texas families and as a permanent home for the Naranjo Collection. Please join us in our efforts to build the Naranjo Museum of Natural History.
The Naranjo Museum of Natural History collects and cares for specimens and artifacts that document the history of life on Earth. It was founded to create an educational experience that fosters family learning and nurtures interaction between children and our shared history. Our goal is to cultivate the curiosity of children and families in an intellectual environment through hands-on and minds-on activities.
-- Provide a positive learning environment that is affordable and accessible to the East Texas community.
-- Talk to new audiences through multiple mediums and create new tools to enhance the education experience.
-- Be active in providing information, resources, collection artifacts and expertise accessible to local institutions of higher education and the general public for teaching purposes.
-- Provide opportunities to join our team of experts in archeological excavations around the United States to find new fossils and artifacts.
