Welcome everyone!
Enjoy “Summer” Hours
Today we switch to our “open” season. The Museum is open 10 am – 4 pm, Wednesday – Sunday, every week from May to October.
Drop in or plan your visit; attend an event or wander the trails.
Check out our 2026 art exhibit, Wings • Waters • Ways .
Of course, our trails, tree house, bird blind, and pollinator sanctuaries are open! Bring a friend and a picnic (and good shoes and bug repellent). Spend time listening for frogs and birds at the pond or for birds from the accessible tree house. Trails are open sunrise to sunset every day.
Go birding—with us at the end of the month or anytime that works for you! We are open by appointment for this month, as well as during any events we host. We’ll return to regular hours in May!
=== APRIL EVENTS ===
Sugaring season is upon us, and it’s time to look for some early returning migrants. We’re still watching birds, making art, and exploring winter as often as we can.
We are open by appointment through the rest of the winter, as well as during the special events we have this month.
=== MARCH EVENTS ===
“The Gift of Art” is our off-season art show.
This often-changing exhibit displays varied works from previous shows, selections from our gift shop, and elements of our long-term collections. See how art weaves together myriad media, styles, and visions. What’s present in April may be quite different from what we had up in November, so consider a repeat visit!
Explore previous themes, find a gift for someone, and celebrate art in our lives.

February can be a mellow short month, sometimes! We are counting birds, working on grants, making wee owls, and generally getting behind the scenes tasks done. We are open by appointment mostly, but just drop in on Valentines Day (no appointment needed). We have volunteer opportunities too!
