Lemmon Petrified Park, Outdoor petrified wood museum in Lemmon, United States.
The park exhibits structures made from 4,100 tons of petrified wood and 300 tons of petrified grass spread across three acres in downtown Lemmon.
Ole Quammen, a local businessman, created this geological park in 1932 during the Great Depression, providing employment for thirty to forty local residents.
The park features over 100 towers, pyramids, and a castle constructed from petrified wood, demonstrating the intersection of natural resources and architectural design.
Visitors can explore the museum and outdoor exhibits without admission fees from Memorial Day through Labor Day at 500 Main Avenue.
The collection includes fossilized dinosaur bones, mammoth remains, and petrified wood specimens gathered within a 25-mile radius of the park.
