DESERT DISCOVERY CENTER.

The mission of the Desert Discovery Center (DDC) is to develop and implement programs focused on the natural, cultural and historical resources associated with the Mojave Desert. The center is home to the "Old Woman Meteorite," the second largest meteorite found in the United States, which weighed 2.750 kg when discovered in 1975, before 427 grams were removed for scientific study. A native plant and animal habitat is housed in the garden and pond where visitors can enjoy the environment.
