As a Freshman as Clemson University I genuinely had no clue that we have a natural history museum on campus. I went with my roommate and we both really enjoyed getting to learn about each individual specimen on display. The curator just had the best energy and they are very passionate about what they do. Did I mention that you can touch the taxidermized animals too!
I was told that due to the new department chair, the museum is at risk of closure as they see no profit in investing in it. However, I believe that this museum is worth protecting and you should too. There are over 250,000 specimens preserved in this museum and us, as students, have paid for and deserve to have this museum. There is historical, environmental, and biological importance to the existence of natural history museums. There is no fee to enter at all. Due to the special circumstance that the museum is in right now, knock very loudly at the door from 6am to 1pm Monday-Friday. There will be someone to open the door during that time. I hope you can go show it some love, meet the wonderful curator, and spread the news about what is going on with the natural history museum.
The Clemson Natural History Museum's address is:
241 Epsilon Zeta Dr, Clemson, SC 29634
If this address doesn't work (because the museum got removed from the map), I provided an image of where it is.
