The Museum is pleased to announce the addition of two new life-size fossil casts to the “Written in the Rocks” exhibition starting May 1, 2019. The dryptosaurs on display will be joined by New Jersey’s state dinosaur, Hadrosaurus foulkii, and a Mosasaur, a large marine reptile from the Cretaeous period that was discovered in southern New Jersey! Visitors to the Museum may be somewhat familiar with the Mosasaur, as the skull has been on view previously. These new specimens will be on long-term view thanks to support from NJM Insurance Group and the New Jersey State Museum Foundation.
After more than 50 active years of hit song making and international album sales well into the multi-millions, it’s safe to say that esteemed singer-songwriter and musician Gordon Lightfoot resides with some very exclusive company atop the list of all-time greats. His song catalog is incredibly vast and includes such immortals as “Early Morning Rain,” “If You Could Read My Mind,” “Carefree Highway,” “Sundown,” “(That’s What You Get) For Lovin Me,” “The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald,” “Canadian Railroad Trilogy,” “Ribbon Of Darkness,” “Beautiful,” “Song For A Winter’s Night” and “Rainy Day People” to name a few.
Celebrating his 80th birthday, this year is special for the legendary artist, who has announced plans for a cross-country USA tour entitled “GORDON LIGHTFOOT: 80 YEARS STRONG TOUR”. The tour will feature his well known hits as well as some deep album cuts for the die-hard fanatics. All of which are woven together with some of Lightfoot’s own behind the scenes stories and personal anecdotes about his historic 50-plus-years musical career and his 80 years of life. The event is sure to be a great thrill for live audiences and anyone who enjoys hearing great music and seeing a living legend in person.
