American Museum of Natural History

The museum of natural history came into exsistance on April 6th, 1869, although it didn't move to its current location until 1877. Theodore Roosevelt was one of the museums' early supporters. Although it contains many different exhibits, it will always be known to children everywhere as the dinosaur museum.
