Calling all fossil hunters!

Join FMSM at Midwest Kid Fest to dig for fossils, engage with paleontologists, and keep your favorite find.

If you have a fossil, rock, mineral, or other curiosity from home, bring it with and we'll help you get it identified.

Stop by and dig in with us!

We’re grateful for today’s coverage of the Fargo-Moorhead Science Museum’s continued site exploration. As we begin conversations with the City of Fargo about the Mid-America Steel site, we also want to express our deep gratitude to Brandt Holdings Company, one of FMSM’s early and foundational partners.

Brandt has been generous and community-minded from the beginning. As our Board continues its due diligence and explores multiple opportunities for the future museum site, Brandt remains supportive of the project’s success and committed to what is best for the Fargo-Moorhead community.

We are fortunate to have partners who share our vision for a world-class STEMM museum built for the region, by the region.

Jonnah is an aspiring pathologist with a passion for science. This fall, she plans to attend North Dakota State University to study Biochemistry & Molecular Biology.

Thank you to the Barry Foundation for selecting us to be an intern host through the Philanthropy and Youth program. This program empowers local high school students to build leadership and philanthropy skills while making an impact in their community.
