The Black Belt Museum, located in Livingston Alabama, is now open. This museum is dedicated to the natural history and culture of the black belt, the swath across central Alabama characterized by chalk rock and thin black soils. The black belt is also home to some of the most important vertebrate fossils from the eastern United States, including whales, mosasaurs, and dinosaurs. These are beautifully displayed at the museum. And where else can you see an aluminum cast of a fire-ant nest?

There is no charge to visit the museum.
