Historic buildings in Mantua Township, New Jersey

The Jean & Ric Edelman Fossil Park at Rowan University is a world-class tourist attraction located in Mantua Township, New Jersey. This unique institution is built on a former marl quarry and showcases 66-million-year-old marine and terrestrial fossils from the dinosaur era. The museum, set to open in Summer 2024, will feature interactive galleries, exhibits, and full-scale reconstructions of extinct creatures. Led by Dr. Kenneth Lacovara, the park conducts groundbreaking research on ancient events that led to mass extinctions. The museum will be a sustainable, net zero facility, powered by renewable energy sources. Visitors can expect immersive experiences, live animal attractions, and educational programs focused on exploration and responsible stewardship of the planet. The park was transformed into a world-class destination thanks to a generous $25 million gift from alumni benefactors Jean & Ric Edelman. The museum project has received support from local and state partners, making it a valuable resource for students, researchers, and the community. Donations and volunteer opportunities are available to support the park's mission of scientific discovery and education. Follow them on social media for construction updates and exciting events.
