The Boiler Bug Barn

The Boiler Bug Barn opened in January 2006. Located in Smith Hall, Room 124 the Boiler Bug Barn features a number of live and pinned insects along with exciting educational exhibits on insect control, insect damage, insects as food, and insect products.

Open: Monday through Friday 8:00-5:00


Due to limited space, all schools and large groups must schedule a "guided tour"!
