A group in the Boise, Idaho area is in the midst of fundraising for a new attraction in the Northwest. It will be called the Northwest Science Museum. They envision a 350,000-square-foot space full of fossils, rocks and animal specimens.

From the Here & Now Contributors Network, Jessica Robinson reports on what they hope to accomplish.
