Dr. Temple Grandin at Historic Star Hall

Moab Museum invites everyone to join us at 6pm, Tuesday, May 30, 2023 at Historic Star Hall as we welcome, Dr. Temple Grandin to present Great Minds Are Not All The Same.

The third week of May annually brings recognition to critical and endangered heritage breeds in order "to protect endangered livestock and poultry breeds from extinction." In celebration of the Livestock Conservancy’s International Heritage Breeds Week, Moab Museum has spent time this month highlighting Heritage Breeds important to early agriculture in Southeastern Utah. Dr. Grandin’s visit will cap off this recognition of Heritage Breeds as she highlights the importance of Heritage Breeds and small farm operators. Tickets for this event are $45/non-members and $25/members.
