ART AND NATURE
A Unique Facility
We saved many parts of the original house during construction to preserve its character. Can you find them all? Look for stone floors, handmade cabinets, and even paw prints left in the cement by the donor’s pets!
Barbara Kaerwer Interpretive Room
This room, dedicated to the property donor, hosts exhibits and displays that showcase water and the community. The current exhibit, “Putting Down Roots,” is a collaborative eco-art project showcasing hand-made flowers that benefit clean water and pollinators.
Other features:
- Kids’ Reading Nook—Take a break and read a book.
- Touch Table—Feel the different textures of nature: Please touch!
- Original Materials—Stone floors, fireplace, and wood paneling.
Greenhouse
