Clewiston Museum

I had the opportunity to visit the Clewiston Museum today, which shares the building with the Clewiston Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber ladies and Museum curator are nice folks and wow, was I surprised at the exhibits.  Oh sure, I expected to see some of Clewiston's history and sweet sugar (more on that in another post) but the nature exhibits were of mammoth proportion!  Here's a picture of one.  These fossils were discovered in 2000 near La Belle, FL, about 20 miles from Clewiston.  Imagine this beast walking the grounds of south Florida...wonder if the gators were scared of it like we are of them?
Definately worth seeing when you're in Hendry County, and pick up an "I've Been Raising Cane" T-shirt while you're there, too. (Would Eve have worn this after the fall?) LOL
