Click and your Amazon purchases help support Stonerose, at no cost to you!

Our employees are all fully vaccinated. Please see our mask policy below.

Wearing a mask is optional at the site and the Center.

If you feel you may be carrying the virus, have been exposed, or are feeling sick, please postpone your visit for everyone’s benefit. We simply cannot afford to take a chance with the health of our community and visitors.

We hope that everyone will be considerate of other diggers at the fossil site and give each other space.

Thanks to Humanities Washington, Innovia Foundation, Washington State Library, and Ferry County Sunrise for providing rapid response funding to organizations facing financial hardship! Their grants helped us purchase supplies necessary to meet CDC guidelines for safety, allowed us to hire back seasonal staff, and even allowed us to let low income youth dig for free.
