LOCATED ON THE CAMPUS OF Georgia Southern University, the U.S. National Tick Collection is the world's largest curated tick collection.
Started in the early 20th Century, the collection was originally part of the Rocky Mountain Lab in Hamilton, Montana. In the early 1980s, the collection was donated to the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. Due to lack of space and funds, the collection was loaned to Georgia Southern University in 1990 and has been housed there ever since.
