The Little Museum with the Big Mammoth
Museum Events
Author talks and bird walks, mining tall tales and geology deep dives, local history and desert mystery … whatever you like, we’ve likely got it!
We’re proud of our unique area and colorful history, and educating visitors is a big part of our mission. To that end, the Shoshone Museum hosts a variety of scheduled talks and events, running from autumn through spring (generally October to April). All events are live and in-person; regrettably, we aren’t able to record or stream our talks at this time.
Talks are always free – and donations are always appreciated!

Speaker: 90 Miles From Needles! Chris Clarke
November 30, 2024 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
free
The desert is alive, and it will defend itself. And we will help. 90 Miles From Needles brings you stories from far out in the American outback: a land unlike any other that is both intense and subtle, that has endured for eons in the harshest conditions imaginable but which could go away in a heartbeat if we act the wrong way. Science, politics, hiking and history, culture and creativity all go into defending the desert. We are out to recruit you to the cause. Be forewarned.
Join us as Chris Clarke explores the challenges and opportunities of the American Southwest’s fragile ecosystems. He has engaged with experts, activists, and advocates on conservation, land management, and environmental justice.
Come meet the host of this award winning podcast focused upon the protections of our vital and fragile eco system.
