"The Rocky Mountain Arsenal's past has been revealing itself over the last two decades with the discovery of many historic and prehistoric artifacts. Thanks to Arsenal employees as well as existing partnerships with the Colorado Museum of Nature and Science and Colorado Historical Society, many priceless artifacts have been found and preserved for future generations.

*Many of the unique and more fragile discoveries soon will be on display at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center. The display also will include general information about where the discoveries were found and from when they originated."
