SATIRE: College Station Gravel Museum celebrates 7th anniversary

It's one of the world's premier museums and it calls downtown Springfield home.

Housing more than 1.5 million pieces, the College Station Gravel Museum is celebrating its seven-year anniversary.

According to the Fair City News, the museum originally opened March 7, 2007, with  huge fanfare. It displays three different varieties, including road, driveway and how-did-this-get-in-the-yard? In addition to the permanent display, the museum rotates touring exhibits such as Indo-European Gravel from the 19th century, The Collected Works of Wayne “The Jackhammer,” and Where Are They Now? Chopped Up Bigger Rocks.

The museum is open Monday through Saturday. Admission is $8 for adults.
