visitors are served fresh strawberries in a homemade dessert from 11am to 4pm,
or until supplies run out. Old-fashioned strawberry jam making is
demonstrated, made as it has been for over 100 years in the historic kitchen.

gift shop. The nature center’s gallery exhibit on the life and works of
author/naturalist Thornton W. Burgess, the small resident animals, a used book
sale, the award-winning wildflower garden and walking trails offer something
for all to enjoy. At 11:00am a live animal story time is scheduled for
families. Story time is free to members, $2 per person for non-members. Green
