Definitely glad we stopped! Type the name into Google maps to find. It is not marked correctly on the map or linked to the proper location in road trippers. There is a free 1 hour tour at 10 am on weekdays. Sadly we didn't get there in time. We will be back and possibly do a one week excavation in the near future. This us an educational facility for citizen scientists not a tourist stop. Register and plan ahead. I wish we had.
