 In 1947 a Bedouin shepherd tossing rocks into a cave accidentally discovered the first of the Dead Sea Scrolls.  Over the next few years, thousands of manuscript fragments, dating back up to 2000 years, were found in 11 caves near the site of the ancient city of Qumran.  These scrolls include the oldest known copies of the Hebrew Bible.  They give us amazing spiritual and cultural insights into the Second Temple period (516 B.C. – 70 A.D.).

The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library presents this world-class exhibition, featuring 8 authentic Dead Sea Scrolls and over 200 artifacts from the Second Temple period. 

 Important Note to Parents:  No bags or purses larger than a wallet (or fanny pack) are allowed in the exhibit.  You may bring a lunch to eat after the tour but leave it in the car.
