Fossils

Edelman Fossil Park

        Please enjoy this Dryptosaurus video that Mr. Falcone created with students at J. Mason Tomlin School. The Dryptosaurus was discovered in 1866 at Ceres Park, in the Barnsboro section of Mantua Township, by Edward D. Cope. Mr. Falcone is selling T-shirts to raise money to erect a statue of the Dryptosaurus in Ceres Park. If you would like to purchase a T-shirt or donate to this cause, please contact Mr. Falcone at bfalcone@mantuaschools.com.

For more information about Mantua Township's history, please visit the Mantua Township Historical Commission on the corner of Mantua Boulevard and Norris Street. They are open the first and third Saturday of each month from 10 AM until 12 PM.

​

The LEAP students are continuing their service learning journey by raising money to benefit the Mantua Township Historical Commission's Important Projects Fund. The Important Projects Fund was created for special projects that are important to the commission such as providing signs for local cemeteries, (some of which will honor veterans) a sign inside the museum for a memorial library that was compiled by Dolores Allen, and a sign for a future farm wagon display outside of the museum. Donations are gratefully accepted.
