One of the coolest (and most iconic) things to do at the Griffin Museum of Science and Industry—the Coal Mine Tour! 🪨⛏️ It’s the museum’s oldest exhibit and an actual coal mine relocated from southern Illinois for the 1933 World’s Fair. They take you down a real mine elevator, show authentic 1930s machinery, and even let you experience total darkness. It’s a separate ticket, but so worth it! #thingstodoinchicago #chicagomuseum #griffinmsi #chicagoattractions #chicagobucketlist | Kaylee Jo Chica

Indigenous stories are far more than “myths.” They carry place-based knowledge with stories, names, and understandings of landscape features; knowledge that conveys a deep history and enriches scientific understanding of the Northwest’s geology. The Heads & Hearts: Seeing the Landscape through Nez Perce Eyes exhibit is open now until Feb 16. Included with general admission.
