I would expect that one to be open even if the others were closed.

He showed us some little turtles and other animals etc. That building is closed now too, I guess that was the same budget cut. Didn't see any rattlers there in the cemetery, but then again didn't know to look out for them.<br /><br />Do you know anything about the mineral deposit there at Twin Lakes/Brooks Hollow Dam?

I know all about the Twin Lakes museum because I was the last person to have worked there in '01. I love it up there.

It looked like a mess inside and not used for years, I guess that would explain it. 2002 makes sense since that sign is pretty in-tact and fresh, hence my confusion.H.

The museum (one of four or five in Harriman SP) had live animal and other outdoor educational exhibits. It has been closed since 2002 because of budget cuts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
