Creation & Earth History Museum

Biblical History

The Creation and Earth History Museum is a showcase for a literal six-day creation and young earth with an ever-growing emphasis on God’s design in creation.

Overview

Santee, California

Dr. Henry Morris’ Institute of Creation Research launched the Creation and Earth History Museum in 1992. For 20 years, ICR developed and grew the exhibits and following. Upon ICR’s move to Texas, the entire museum and its contents were sold to Scantibodies Laboratory, Inc.

Tom Cantor, the owner of Scantibodies Laboratory, Inc., and his wife Cheryl founded a non-profit 501c3 ministry called Light and Life Foundation. The Light and Life Foundation owns the museum.
