ROCK SWAP
SATURDAY 4/24/2021
Plan a visit to the D.W. Correll Museum for the Rock Swap & Open House and land yourself free admission to this Catoosa museum. Multitask during this special event and browse both the museum collections and goods from the onsite vendors. Guests can tour through the transportation museum, housing antique automobiles, before focusing in on the rocks, minerals, fossils and jewelry for sale. Collectors and enthusiasts can also partake in rock cutting, polishing, jewelry making and flint knapping demonstrations. Kids can also participate in educational activities while their chaperones get their personal rocks and gemstones identified by the experts. Head to the D.W. Correll Museum for an afternoon filled with educational fun and leave with a rock or mineral to commemorate this special day.

If you plan to bring material to swap or sell, arrive early to set up - 8:30 AM to 9:00 AM. The swap starts at 10:00 AM and last until 3:00 AM. Bring the whole family.

You can find out where your Turquoise came from just by looking at it! This is because every mine produces a unique stone. You can see if your necklace came from Arizona, Nevada or Colorado!
