The Nature Center building, named for Jamestown's native son, Roger Tory Peterson, the honored bird artist and ornithologist, contains living and nonliving exhibits, a large collection of Peterson's bird prints, and the Simpson Bird Room with over 200 mounted birds including some that are now extinct. Popular with the children is the Discovery Room with its hands-on exhibits. Meetings and special events of the Jamestown Audubon Society, all open to the public, are held in the nature building. These beautiful facilities are also available to area groups to rent for their own events. Call the Nature Center for more information.
Trails open daily from dawn until dusk.
