This week’s
feature artifact was chosen because of its connection to Dr. Leonard (Len)
Hills, a well-known geologist at the University of Calgary. Dr. Hills was born
in Judah and passed away on August 4, 2013 in Calgary. Dr. Hills achieved great
things throughout his career as a geologist and influenced a great many lives. He will be missed.
This meteorite
was donated by the Hills family. The meteorite is part of a large meteorite
that exploded and fell over Bruderheim, a small town in Central Alberta, on March
4th, 1960.

in the Peace Region, and we invite you down to the museum to see for yourself!
In memory of Dr.
Leonard Hills
