Dinosaurs – those creatures of yesteryear that have mystified and fascinated generations – are roaming near the cross in Eureka Springs, Arkansas.

The Elna M. Smith Foundation, producers of the Great Passion Play in Eureka Springs, AR. and the Noble, OK-based Creation Truth Foundation opened the Museum of Earth History. The Museum is an educational and interactive facility uniting the worlds of history, science, and faith in an unprecedented dinosaur presentation.

Eureka Springs Great Passion Play “The museum is part of the complex surrounding the largest attended outdoor drama in America, namely the Great Passion Play, and will add another facet to the many attractions in the area”, Gary Dressler, spokesman for the Creation Truth Foundation, said.

The museum presents dinosaurs from a different perspective, highlighting the Creation Truth Foundation’s belief that there is a biblical basis for the existence of dinosaurs. The interactive museum experience includes a display of life-size dinosaur skeletons, life models and fossil plates.

The Creation Truth Foundation, a non-profit ministry, has been developing the museum for over two years and began working with the Smith Foundation at about the same time to bring this exhibit to Eureka Springs.

“It’s been a lifelong dream of Dr. G. Thomas Sharp, founder of Creation Truth to be able to bring the message of Christ, and His sacrifice, with the understanding of Biblical literacy in Genesis,” Dressler said.

“It is necessary for a person to have a literal Biblical understanding of Genesis in order to get the message of the cross.”

Dressler said the Elna M. Smith Foundation is providing the location and marketing for the museum, while the Creation Truth Foundation provides the design and setup, including interactive displays, merchandise, and 2,000 square feet of exhibits.
