Located on 46 acres of ravine forest and historic past, this nature preserve's two miles of walking trails wind past a scenic creek with rocky shoals, spring seeps, mature trees, wildflowers, native plants, and a variety of animal life. A Heritage Village has been created with four buildings original to the site and four landmark structures moved from nearby properties. This village and its related exhibit pieces provide an understanding of this area's proud rural heritage from the mid 1800s to the mid 1900s. Replica Native American dwellings are nestled in the woods to remind us of those who walked these forests before us and to teach the lessons of a culture that respected and carefully cared for the environment. Our Visitor Center houses over 30 different animals you can learn about, and offers a unique educational experience in the Living Lab, an area for kids to learn about the world around them, with little guided instruction. The Visitor Center is open Tuesday-Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Sunday, from noon to 4 p.m. Park hours are 8 a.m. to dusk.
