Hanson Nature Center
what our center has to offer...
Nature centers get people outdoors and promote an increased quality of life. Our Hanson Nature Center offers environmental programming for school and civic groups, as well as the general public. It is also a tourist destination that helps visitors learn about the valuable natural resources of the area, in addition to serving as a meeting location for local civic groups and other organizations. Finally, it also houses the offices of the Winnebago County Conservation Board.
- The center contains exhibits and interactive displays to help increase people's awareness and knowledge of their natural resources, as well as how to conserve those resources.
- It is centrally-located in the county, just south of the north junction of Highways 9 and 69.
- The building is 40' x 96', or 7,680 square feet over two levels.
- It is eye-catching, with 28'-high vaulted ceilings.
- The building meets ADA specifications for accessibility.
- Rooms include offices, a large program/meeting room (that seats 85-100 people), an exhibit area, a workshop/activity area, a staff meeting room, and a kitchenette.
