Earthplace

Founded in 1958 and accredited by The American Association of Museums, Earthplace maintains a 62-acre wildlife sanctuary with more than two miles of trails, an interactive natural history museum, and live animal viewing and learning in Animal Hall and the outdoor Birds of Prey Exhibit. Earthplace is home to a state-licensed preschool, summer camp, and numerous after school nature programs for elementary through middle school children.
