Gillespie Museum introduces geology and natural science on Stetson University’s DeLand campus.
Its mineral collection and associated environmental interpretation make it a compact educational stop beyond the university’s ordinary teaching spaces.
Check the museum’s academic-year opening calendar before arrival. Public sessions are limited, and university breaks or special programs can change availability. The photograph shows the museum building rather than the present displays. Science Saturdays and organized group visits follow separate schedules, so plan around a confirmed session and use the university’s visitor-parking guidance.
