Agate Fossil Beds National Monument Description
Twenty-two mi. south of Harrison is Agate Fossil Beds National Monument, where fossils of primeval mammals dating back 20 million years were found. The museum displays some of these finds, as well as items belonging to Ogallala Chief Red Cloud.

The first scientific excavation, in 1904, discovered the fossils of a previously unknown rhinoceros.

Self-guiding trails lead to historic fossil quarries and a historic cabin.
