This museum and sanctuary was opened in 1967 by Miss Bessie Heard, who wanted to preserve an area for future generations to explore and appreciate nature. The site now offers over 5 miles of hiking trails across 289 acres with indoor and outdoor exhibits.

The trails are generally easy, making this a great destination to bring kids on their first hike.
