Itâs always a pleasure and an adventure to tour the Catawba Science Center â even more so when CSCâs naturalist Bruce Beerbower is leading the way.
Bruce and I have talked on multiple occasions about the center and about his own experiences, including going on dinosaur digs out West. Did you know that in 2020 Bruce turned 70 and logged his 40th year with CSC? When he started, the science museum was in âa lovely old house,â said Bruce, on Third Avenue in Hickory, the structure having been saved from demolition when the Service League of Hickory bought it from the city and founded a childrenâs science education facility in 1975.
