Not Yet Open to the Public

The renovations are complete. Although the nature center is already being used for programs and special events, it won’t be officially opened to the public until educational exhibits have been designed and installed.

Its History

Robert Mambourg constructed the lodge in the early 1940s. Sitting on 116 acres of fields, beautiful woods and deep ravines, it came to be his family’s country retreat. It is a wonderful example of mortise-and-tenon construction. Probably the most captivating features of the building is the 90-ton, double-faced indoor-outdoor fireplace at the east end of the great room.
