The Center provides a window into natural Florida through interpretive programs and hikes, educational instruction, exhibits and public outreach activities, presentations and workshops, and other events. Residents and visitors alike who are curious to learn more about the Preserve and its history can experience, discover and better understand the connections between people and the land through Center offerings.

Nestled amid a wetland forest alongside Brooker Creek, the Center is a beautiful, 25,000-square-foot, three-building complex designed in old Florida Pioneer-style architecture. It includes a 6,000-square-foot exhibit area, indoor and out-of-doors classrooms, and an auditorium capable of seating for over 200 people.  Art exhibits by local artists are on display on a two-month rotation.
