Established in the year 1977, the facility is a center for ecological study and community welfare, and is dedicated in helping the locals discover and understand more about nature and the natural surroundings. The center is home to a variety of wildlife like birds, bunnies, ferrets, lizards, turtles, snakes etc. There are hands-on activities for children, exhibits and a reading cum game corner. The center can be rented for community welfare programs, birthdays and celebrations. There is no admission fee, but visitors are requested to make a nominal donation for the welfare of the museum. Since the center is located in the vicinity of Mill Wood Park, visitors can take a hike and explore the meadows and trekking trails after a visit to the museum.
With a congregation founded in 1636, the Center Church is the fourth meeting house to reside on its current location with the present church built in 1807. The Center Church has always maintained itself as not just a religious icon of the city, but as a cultural one as well. Today, there are concerts and important city events, such as First Night, which are held on the grounds of the church. Also on the site of the church is Hartford's oldest cemetery, the Ancient Burial Ground, where its citizens were interred from 1640 to 1802. "Our Church is 375 years old; our thinking is not" is the motto of the 375 year-old house of worship and is one of the most progressive congregations in the state.
