Anniston Museum of Natural History

In 1930, the Anniston Museum of Natural History's collection made its way from Pennsylvania to Anniston, Alabama after citizens raised money to transport and house the artifacts in the now-demolished Carnegie Library. The collection opened to the public under the name of the Regar Museum. In 1976, thanks to a generous donor John B. Lagarde, the Anniston Museum of Natural History opened its doors. Since opening, the museum's collection continues to grow and educate generations of people. The museum continues to grow today with the support of the community and generosity of local businesses and individuals.
