Show 1014B Wetumpka Impact Crater Revisit
Scientists believe that approximately 85 million years ago, a giant meteor struck the area that is now Wetumpka, Alabama. For some area residents, it feels like the idea for a visitor center dedicated to the meteor took about that many years to bring to fruition. (But it was really only about two decades.) It's called the Wetumpka Impact Crater Discovery and Visitor Center, and it's located right smack-dab in the middle of downtown near a new art installation that's also dedicated to the meteor. We hope you enjoy touring these new spots a whole lot more than the dinosaurs enjoyed welcoming that meteor!
