Uranium Exhibit Closing
The uranium exhibit on display at the Museum of the West is moving at the end of the year. We stopped in on Friday and learned that space is in demand for other exhibits to go on display. The exhibit “Prospecting in the Nuclear Age” opened in 2015 under the direction of a famous Atomic Energy Commission uranium geologist Bill Chenoweth who passed away in 2018. Here is an interesting virtual timeline provided by the museum and I highly recommend visiting this year if you are in Grand Junction!
