The Miocene Forest

The Miocene Forest, a new permanent installation at the Yakima Valley Museum, opened November 16, 2008 in the Helen N. Jewett Basalt Gallery. This new exhibit features 15-million-year-old trees, unearthed from a ridge in the Yakima Valley and reconstructed inside the museum. A mural depicting Yakima during the Miocene era surrounds the trees, and visitors can examine polished cross-sections of different types of petrified hardwoods. This unique exhibit provides the visitor with a glimpse of prehistoric Yakima.
