Educational Programs at the Frehner Museum
The Garth and Jerri Frehner Museum of Natural History is dedicated to providing educational experiences for southern Utah’s residents, teachers, and students in all subjects relating to biology, geology, and anthropology. We believe K-12 students should have access to hands-on learning about their environment and the natural resources in southern Utah. We strive to provide education that is fun and engaging while leading the student to a deeper level of understanding where true learning takes place.
