THE MINERAL & LAPIDARY MUSEUM OF HENDERSON COUNTY

The Mineral & Lapidary Museum of Henderson County, Inc. was the dream of one man, Larry Hauser. That dream first began in 1982. His purpose was to establish a place where children could go to see and learn about the earth sciences. The search for a site took 15 years. But that dream became a reality when the museum had its "Grand Opening" on Nov. 6, 1997.
