Revised Hanson Nature Center Open Dates

The Winnebago County Conservation Board has had to revise some of the weekend dates that the Hanson Nature Center will be open this summer. The next weekend day that the Center will be open will be on Sunday, July 5th.
(Previously, that date was mistakenly stated as a Saturday, but the Center will actually be open on Sunday that weekend).  Also, instead of being open on Saturday, August 8th, the Center will instead be open on Saturday, August 1st. It will also be open on Sunday, August 16th, when the Blank Park Zoo will be visiting the Center to present a program. Finally, the last weekend date the Center will be open this summer will be on Saturday, September 5th. On each of those days, the center will be open from 1:00-4:00 PM.
Throughout the year, the nature center is open on Mondays and Wednesdays from 10:00 AM until 1:00 PM and on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1:00-4:00 PM. It is also open any other time including Fridays when someone is working in the building. There is usually a staff member working in the building, but not always. So, open times outside of those listed above cannot be guaranteed. People can also call ahead at (641) 567-3390 to arrange a visit or to make sure that the center will be open.
The Winnebago County Conservation Board hopes that the weekend dates during the summer will allow people to visit the center at more convenient times and perhaps even allow people to bring along relatives or friends who may be visiting over the holidays.
