Ontonagon Boulder - Today

Today

As of 2011, the Ontonagon boulder is located in the National Museum of Natural History, but it is currently behind the scenes. It was to be installed in the Hall of Geology, Gems, and Minerals when they opened, but at the last minute, engineering concerns led to a veto. A new exhibition of the Boulder is being planned.

A replica of the Ontonagon boulder can be found at the Ontonagon Historical Museum. While various numbers are given for the boulder's weight, the most commonly accepted figure is 3,708 pounds.
