ESCONI Flashback Friday #26: Field Trip to Dixon, IL 05-24-1959

As part of the run up to ESCONI’s 70th Anniversary, here is Flashback Friday post #26.  If you have pictures or stories to contribute, please send them over to esconi.info@gmail.com.  Thanks!


Here are some pictures from a field trip to Dixon, IL on May 24th, 1958.  Field trips in the past were much more of a family affair.  Collecting fossils and picnics seem to go hand in hand…  If the pictures show anything, these were very social event.  Too bad there aren’t just a few pictures of what they found… I’ll have a few trilobites with my hot dogs and potato salad!
