Groundbreaking set for Hubbard Rhino Barn
Lincoln Journal Star wrote:A groundbreaking at Ashfall Fossil Beds State Historical Park will mark construction of a new 17,500-square-foot addition for the excavation and protection of many more buried fossils. The new enclosure will expand the excavation area by eight times and will enable paleontologists to discover more fossils and enhance the experiences for visitors. In recognition of the family’s support, the complex will be called the Hubbard Rhino Barn.

The Hubbard Foundation also announced support for a new Discovery Pavilion at the park. The pavilion will be used to process and research the many smaller fossils at the site and to collect fossils found during construction of the Hubbard Rhino Barn. To help recognize the fossil discoveries in Nebraska, the U-Haul Co. announced its release of 2,200 new 10- and 14-foot moving vans that will feature Ashfall Fossil Beds State Historical Park. U-Haul will unveil its Nebraska SuperGraphic with an image of a rhinoceros at the groundbreaking ceremony for Hubbard Rhino Barn.
