    A wonderful museum and a must see for any Christian! It's a little small, but it took us a solid 90 minutes to go through the whole thing. They have a lab where you can talk to the people working on research, and it's extremely informative. Definitely worth checking out! The people who work here are very knowledgeable and there are some wonderful specimens to check out. Perfect for the whole family!

    Next time I'll coordinate better with the events at the museum. I knew there would be a time of lecture from a distinguished guest; however, I didn't realize it would be three hours in length. In simply wanting to look around, I didn't want to wait for the presentation's end in order to do so. This is definitely a learning lesson for when I'm in Glen Rose again. Of course I am about checking it out. Maybe next time...who knows?!

    Tom Landry is absolutely an icon! However I'm not sure how this statue expands on the "Creationism" idea of the museum.

    One of the many questions I ponder everyday on the gulf of Yelp is " How did we become to become?" Were we created by design, by a higher power? Or did we evolve from a lower primate into an elevated one? To me any real dialogue between "Creationism" and "Evolution" is nonexistent as proponents of both are entwined in an ideological tug of war; to undo each other. Recently when I visited the Creation Evidence Museum in Glen Rose, Texas I left with more questions than I did answers. Normally the museum is open on Thursday through Saturday from 10am to 4pm. I noticed online that they were offering an extension of days to accommodate Spring Breakers. Firstly I'm not sure as a consequence of time being sprung forward but they opened late. Which initially dampened my first impression of it. I did see another patron there, presumably earlier who lost their patience and left. Maybe the same Hidden Hand that pushed their Snooze Button ultimately opened the gate? I always(for the most part) enter a place with an open-mind and my Yelp Meter on. I'm not sure if I had expectations but the place was smaller than I had imagined. Even the parking lot was larger than the museum. No matter. I paid the six dollar admission and entered. It is two levels of artifacts that include prehistoric fossils, religious iconography and an impressive replica of Noah's Ark. Along the walls are displays offering Charles Darwin's Theory of Evolution. And next to them biblical scriptures meant to dispel those theories. As a supplement to the experience a video is offered on the hour. It explains the mission of the founders with a detailed argument for "Creationism." While it was very informative I was still left with questions. Did dinosaurs coexist with man? Were the seven days that created the universe actually over the span of a millennium? Did prehistoric animals ride in Noah's Ark in the flood that destroyed the world? I did appreciate that it made me ponder things. However some sort of context for all items was missing. In my opinion the best possible way to do this is to expand the museum. I say this since some of the artifacts seemed like fillers. I wasn't sure how they fit into the grander scheme of the museum. For example there was: a replica of Johannes Gutenberg's Printing Press. A section dedicated to the Twelve Tribes of Israel. And even more confusing a statue of the Dallas Cowboy' s iconic coach Tom Landry. How do the addition of these items make the case for creationism? I'm not sure. In all fairness staff were walking around answering any questions you might have. I just think it would've been more helpful to have placards accompanying pieces, with some point of reference. I must admit out of all the artifacts the replica of Noah's Ark really stood out. Even though it was on a much smaller scale it made me consider its engineering, logistics. How long did it take to create such an enormous structure? Did it take generations? What about the nautical specifications? In the model there are two of every species including dinosaurs. Was there enough space for pterodactyls to fly about? How did they wrangle Tyrannosaurus Rex on board the Ark? Again I wish there were more accompanying resources to expand on displays, as well as theories. It's important to state that wherever you fall on the spectrum, whether you believe that the universe was created by design. Or is still evolving the museum facilitates a wonder. I just hope in the future it really considers expanding to include a better explanation of pieces, like the Ark. Is it worth a road trip to get here? That's really up to you. Science and faith are both powerful entities. If man supposedly coexisted with dinosaurs why can't these ideas as well?

    Trump coin.

    If you are in Glen Rose go ahead and check out this "museum" . I am always open to new ideas and experiences. This is a special place and you can make it a quick stop or stay awhile. It covers everyone from Noah to Tom Landry and Neil Armstrong to Donald Trump. The Ark is impressive craftsmanship. We missed The Finger so we may head back to Glen Rose to see it. Gotta love Texas.

    The fossil record does not support the theory of evolution, simple as that.

    Didn't realize the visiting hours for the museum had already come and gone by the time I arrived…read more Was wondering why no one else was there. I only say this because the front door to the art galleries was unlocked, and I helped myself to a leisurely look at the exhibits. Honestly, I probably wasn't supposed to be there, but I didn't know any better. After all that, I very much enjoyed looking around at the art work, as well as the grounds encompassing the buildings. For my next trip, I'll hopefully get better prepared for actual visiting hours. Until then, I'll consider it as a private viewing.

    I can't say I'm a huge art fan, but Barnard's Mill, as in the property, has some pretty cool…read morehistory. Charles E. Barnard and Herman Quimby traded with the Indians between 1847 and 1855. Somewhere in there is even a story of of how Barnard traded with the Indians for a (captured) woman, who later became his wife. I highly recommend reading the Mill Museum info at the web address. The docents are super friendly and will take you through the building, which was bought by Richard Moore on the 2nd August 1979. He restored and furnished it with antiques from the Federal period to the Eastlake period (1775-1875). He established Barnard's Mill Art Museum in the old hospital addition and filled it with the art collection from the Fielder Foundation and art works of his private collection. A must see while in Glen Rose. PS. Did not make it inside on tis trip, as it's only open on weekends and we were here on a Tuesday.
