Program Notes: Friday, December 12, 2025  at 7:30, join us for Charles Rogers providing a guided tour of Crater Rock Museum in Central Point, Oregon.

Crater Rock Museum is owned by Roxy-Ann Gem & Mineral Society, Inc. Crater Rock Museum houses one of the finest displays of gems, minerals, rocks, and fossils on the West Coast. Exhibits include a collection of world-class minerals, collection of petrified woods, fossils, and much more! The museum gift shop is filled with the works of local artists from the Roxy Ann Gem & Mineral Society and rocks and minerals from around the world. The museum started out as a humble “shack” where locals could visit and perhaps ask about an interesting rock, or to gather around as a group and share “rockhounding” stories. It’s grown a lot since 1954. In fact, we’ve recently completed our expansion project that began in 2003. The original 5,400 square foot museum is now more than 12,000 square feet, housing community meeting rooms, a larger gift shop, workshop, and exhibit areas. Guided tours are available by appointment.
