About

Carpenter Nature Center is open 361 days a year for visitors of all ages to learn about the natural world.
Art Festival Page: https://www.facebook.com/carpenterartfestival
Carpenter Nature Center encompasses 725 acres of diverse habitat on both the Minnesota and Wisconsin sides of the St. Croix River. Each year we reach 20,000-30,000 visitors, through teaching environmental education programs, operating an eco-friendly apple orchard, and protecting natural habitat.
Besides apples, the Apple Shack has other quality goods for sale, including pumpkins, gourds, squash, honey, and maple syrup. They also offer a selection of gourmet jams, syrups, mustards and more. Our wildflower honey is extracted from the beehives in early September and is available while supplies last.
