Nature Center Hours

Trails: 8:00 a.m. 4:30 p.m.

Built in 1886, the schoolhouse now contains a variety of displays on natural
history, including live native animals. Features found outside include a
garden, a pond, a waterfowl feeding area, wildflowers, prairie restoration,
and an orchard. Self-guiding nature trails are 15, 30, or 60 minutes in
length. A great place to take the family.

Please note this letterbox does not have its own stamp pad.

Clues

Go into the school and take a peek, then go out the back door. Take the
trail to the right. At the fork, make another right and go through the gate
that locks. Then another fork, another right. Pass a sign that really isn't
a sign. Pass the number eleven. When your back is toward the water, look for
a sawed-off stump on the trail. About 45 paces ahead there is a fallen tree
with both arms cut off at trails edge. The two arms merge and point to your
treasure's home.

Happy Hunting!
