The Greene County Commission and the Missouri Institute of Natural Science held a ceremony to mark the beginning of construction at 2327 W. Farm Road 190.
The 2,500-square-foot building will provide space for groups studying the cave and its ice-age-era fossils, as well as Riverbluff Cave specimens and the Ken Thomson Memorial Karst Collection, according to a news release.
The $195,000 project is funded through a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development grant. The building is designed by Butler, Rosenbury & Partners Inc. and will be constructed by Lacey Bros. Commercial Construction Inc.
Riverbluff is the oldest fossil cave in North America, with specimens dating back as far as 1.1 million years, according to the release. It was discovered in 2001 and, because of its delicate nature, is not open to the public, although visitors may view items collected from it and take virtual tours in the cave’s field house, built in 2005.
