Bethel sits in an area known for its gems and minerals and has a long history built around it. In particular mica mines and tourmaline deposits. A local philanthropist decided to to herald this heritage by building a world class museum and research center in the heart of town. You can read about it in the NY Times! It holds one of the worlds most coveted collections of meteorites. Yup...in little old Bethel.
