The Hudson Highlands Nature Center (HHNC) formerly known as the Museum of the Hudson Highlands has done more than change its name. They have gotten a new sign.

The HHNC sign on Route 218 in the Village of Cornwall was looking like it need a bit of help. So Tyler Ryan was tapped to create a new one just in time for people to be looking for the HHNC to enjoy all the fall activities.

Sadly, the original sign was in a severe state of disrepair, but thanks to the hard work & ingenuity of our fantastic Maintenance and Groundskeeper Jorge, he rebuilt and preserved as much of the original sign as possible (via FacebookHudson Highlan Nature Center)

 

What can you do this Fall at the HHCN in Cornwall, New York

So where exactly is the Nature Center? It really depends on which campus you want to visit. The original museum started in Cornwall in 1959. I grew up in Cornwall going to the Museum of the Hudson Highlands on school trips. It was the first place I saw an owl up close.

My experience there is one of the reasons I am so interested in the wildlife we have throughout the Hudsn Valley. These days with their multiple locations you can do and see more.

Where is The Hudson Highlands Nature Center

The HHNC has two locations in Cornwall the Wildlife Education Center and the Outdoor Discovery Center. Both are located in Cornwall, New York.
