It's HERE!
Dinosaur lovers of all ages: Tennessee now has its own full-scale, complete skeleton of a T-Rex and you can see it in Cookeville! Work assembling the T-Rex—40-feet long, 14-feet high with a four foot head— has just been completed at the Highlands Prehistoric Museum on Cedar St. just off the Cookeville town square. The Fort Peck Rex, the ONLY life-size T-Rex skeleton in the Southeastern U.S., is now part of the museum’s permanent collection. The 7,400 square-foot teaching museum features skeletons and displays of a variety of dinosaurs and pre-historic creatures; all kinds of fossils; and a dinosaur lab where bones are being excavated from a section of rock sediment shipped to the museum from Montana.
