 “Peek Into the Past” | Beneski Museum of Natural History | 10 a.m. - Noon
As part of your Homecoming visit, make a quick stop by the Beneski Museum’s Southwest patio and “Peek Into the Past” through the huge gallery windows. Take a moment to check out the inspiration for the Amherst mascot, our very own Columbian Mammoth, class of ’29. Current Amherst College students will be available on the patio with an array of “Touchable Fossils” available for all ages. Your peek will include a Mastodon, Cave Bear, Sabre toothed cat, an Irish Elk and a Dire Wolf. Since inside access isn't an option, we are bringing the museum to you at our patio party!
