Our friends to the East (Sandusky County), have a new nature center in Lindsey, Creek Bend Farms. Chris and I took a trip there today to check it out. I grew up about 2 miles away from it, so it is familiar territory.
They built a nice new nature center on the site of an old farm. The house on the farm was built in the 1860's, about the time that the house I grew up in was built, so another connection.
Inside is very bright and cheerful and has a nice wow factor.

There are a lot of little cozy areas. Some to look out from and some to look through a book at.
And then there was a wonderful surprise waiting for us inside.
Former Wood County Naturalist Debbie Nofzinger was there holding down the fort. She is with the Sandusky County Park system now and her office is at the Creek Bend Farm Nature Center. She was trying to work, but we did not let her get much done while we were around.
We also went for a short walk on the property. The area around the new building is pretty muddy right now, but once you get out a bit it is fine.
