The education program at the Center interprets the natural, cultural, and archaeological history of the Preserve through interpretive tours, education programs, exhibits, workshops, and other events.  Amenities include hiking trails, a fishing pier, an ADA-accessible boardwalk, a 40-foot high observation tower, and extensive canoe/kayak trails through thick mangrove swamps.

Completed in December 2002, the three-story Center was designed with the help of Native Americans and keeps with their traditions. For example, the orientation of the building is along the four cardinal points of the compass (north, south, east, and west) with the entrance facing east.  A special curved outside wall is representative of the remarkable pottery of the Weeden (alternate spelling) Island people who lived here some 1100 to 1800 years ago.  Portions of the Preserve are on the National Register of Historic Places.

Vestiges of ancient people along with the historic impacts of an airport, speakeasies, movies sets, and mosquito ditches make Weedon Island Preserve “A Place to Remember.”
