Celebrate the holidays at Salamonie Interpretive Center, Dec.12

Indiana DNR Release:

Ring in the holidays with a celebration open house at Salamonie Interpretive Center, Dec. 12, from 1:30 to 4 p.m.

Santa will be stopping in from 2 to 3 p.m. Visitors are invited to bring a gift for the interpretive center wildlife, the birds and squirrels who visit our wildlife viewing area, as well as a can of food to be donated to a local food bank.

There will be holiday music and refreshments. The interpretive center will be decorated inside and out. The first 50 people will receive a nature ornament to take home.

“Volunteers from our senior and our friends group donate holiday treats,” said Marvin McNew, director of the Upper Wabash Interpretive Services. “The staff uses this gathering as a way to visit and think of others in our community during the holiday season.”

The Salamonie Interpretive Center is open daily 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The building will be open both Christmas and New Year’s Day. This barrier-free building features exhibits, floor-to-ceiling windows in the wildlife viewing area, and staff to answer questions. The center is in Lost Bridge West Recreation Area on Highway 105 in western Huntington County.
