Museum 'comes of age' at 21st birthday party By SCOTT LLOYD Staff Writer It was all anyone could ask for in a birthday balloons, birthday cake and a party gathering of more than 100 friends, and comunity leaders. The occasion was the 21st anniversary Monday of the CEU Prehistoric Museum in Price. Founded in 1960 from a notion conceived by curator Don Burge who was teaching an adult education class in geology at the time, the museum has come of age in a way which is more than just chronological. Dr. J. Eldon Dorman, one of the museums founding fathers, recalls that during a class session in 1960 which had lasted well into the evening, Burge remarked, You know, you people are crazy! You live in a geologic well-wishe- rs paradise here in eastern Utah. Why dont we start a geologic museum? Beginning in an upstairs room at the Price Municipal Building, the museum eventually outgrew those quarters, especially when Burge and his colleagues began to acquire enough bones from the nearby Cleveland-Lloy- d Dinosaur Quarry to assemble a dinosaur skeleton. The museum, which opened its doors June 3, 1961, was eventually moved to its present location in the north side of the municipal building. As curator, Burge has achieved excellence by limiting the museums scope. We have no hope of competing with other museums in the state as far as collecting specimens from throughout the world. But we have the best exhibit of prehistoric culture First Price Care Center 1340 East Church Price, Utah 300 North, PRICE Quality nursing care. 24 hour and adult day care. Complete activity program.

This was more than three times as much as Americans. SPECTUACULAR VALUES IN native to eastern Utah in the world. No one can beat our collection of Ihdian Art, for example, Burge said. The exhibits focus mainly on the Fremont and Anasazi Indian cultures more than 1,000 years old, represented by specimens found in places such as the Book Cliffs and Nine Mile Canyon, and dinosaur bones found in the Dinosaur quarry. nearby Cleveland-Lloy- d Like most museums, the CEU facility has its prominent specimens. Al the Allosaurus dinosaur, has come to be its symbol. Assembled by as a cooperative venture between Burge, Dr. James A. Jensen of Brigham Young University, and Dr. James Madsen of the University of Utah, the skeleton is 70 percent petrified bone with about 30 percent plaster reproduction and metal framing. Few dinosaur skeletons are so faithfully composed of actual specimens. Burge occasionally entertains lecture visitors with tales of the time and patience required to excavate hundreds of bones from the quarry and to separate and catalog them to construct skeletons at the three institutions. On one occasion, the only vehicle Burge could locate to transport bones from BYU to Price was a truck normally used to haul beer. The sight of a beer truck backed up to the loading dock of the BYU science building was quite a spectacle for students at the Mormon school. On the archeological side, the most prominent feature is the Pilling Figurines, discovered in a small side canyon of Range Creek about 40 miles east of Price. The figurines, dating from the 11th Century, are unique in that they are made of unbaked clay and are so well preserved. As might be imagined, there are big plans for the museums future. Perhaps the most immediate is construction of a balcony around the walls of the museum, a birthday-yea- r project, .according to Burge. The balcony, will be necessary if plans for its head in more dinosaurs are realized. the rafters, a dinosaur must properly be viewed from the balcony. Our hope is to eventually have all three of the more common dinosaurs here the s, allosaurus, the stegosaurus and the said. Burge Meanwhile, the museum will continue to thrive thanks to its loyal following, and the heritage reflected in the plaque installed Monday. The plaque bears the name of the original founding fathers: C. Ashby, Bill Branson, Holly Bryner, Don Burge, James Diamint, J. Eldon Dorman, Ray Downard, Qunn A. Whiting, Bette Hansen, Keith Hansen, George Patterick, C.W. Stubby Petersen, Price City, Art Rasmussen and William F. Reves.
