Tours

You are invited to register for an informational three-hour walk on our beautiful 255 acres during a scheduled site tour.

The walk will include an opportunity to see our bog, cattail marsh, pond, beautiful forest and ravine. You will also learn about the various sustainable elements of the buildings as well as our educational programs.
  • Wear comfortable walking shoes - the walk is moderate (with possible mud, steep hills, and gravel); also, you'll be asked to remove your shoes in some of the buildings, so wear ones that can be easily slipped off and on
  • Wear weather-appropriate clothing - much of the tour takes place outdoors
  • Water bottles are encouraged; but please no food on the tour
  • We ask that no children younger than 13 years old be brought on the tour - (small child in a carrier is ok) - sorry, no strollers

Mammal's Den Fireplace

Metamorphic rocks were used in the Mammal's Den fireplace. These rocks are formed from the alteration of pre-existing rock by high pressure and temperature. The chemical composition of the rock remains essentially the same, but the atoms are rearranged into different mineral structures. An example is carbon, which is changed by very high heat and pressure from the mineral graphite (pencil lead) into diamond.
