About 83-85 million years ago, a cosmic object estimated at 1,250 feet in diameter, struck the earth in (now) Elmore County, on the eastern side of the city of Wetumpka. The crescent-shaped crater remains clearly visible on US Highway 231 and AL Highway 14. James Lowery, a member of the Wetumpka Impact Crater Commission who assists with the annual guided tours of the crater, will discuss its significance.
