Prehistoric Road Trip
by SDPB
Emily Graslie, Rapid City native, YouTube star and Chief Curiosity Correspondent at Chicago’s Field Museum hosts Prehistoric Road Trip, a new three-episode miniseries from WTTW Chicago that premieres on SDPB June 17.
In the series, Graslie embarks on an epic road trip through America’s fossil country, including over eight sites in South Dakota, where she encounters mysterious creatures and bizarre ecosystems that have shaped Earth as we know it. With her trademark sense of adventure and wit, Graslie explores the American West from above and below to better understand our planet’s past and what new discoveries might mean for its future.
In celebration of SDPB’s very special connection to Emily Graslie and Prehistoric Road Trip, SDPB is partnering with the SD School of Mines & Technology (SDSMT), Youth in Science Rapid City, Inc., Badlands National Park and others for an exciting event.
