NATURE CENTER

Southeast Kansas Nature Center

Galena, KS | Cherokee County

On top of the elaborate WPA stone terraces, the handsome and modern nature center is in an excellent setting to help you discover the intricacies of Ozark Plateau flora and fauna. Watch small, living animals, use interactive displays to learn more about the threatened and endangered species that call this area home, and step out onto the wraparound deck to spot birds and other wildlife. A large collection of American Indian artifacts is also on display.
