Theodore Roosevelt Sanctuary and Audubon Center is a 12 acre woods next to the Youngs Memorial cemetery where he is buried. There are three parallel trails to take through the woods. One higher one leading by the cemetery, one main middle one, and one lower one. You could take one out and another back for a loop trail. If so, I’d recommend going up the higher trail and coming back on the middle trail.
It is quiet and offers seeing various birds along your walk.
The Theodore Roosevelt Sanctuary is such a peaceful place to go for a walk and get some fresh air. I visited after work when the sanctuary was (practically) empty. The trails aren't too strenuous, they actually merge into each other during some points and all end back at the main entrance. There are a lot of recreational areas with benches and seating throughout the space.
My favorite place was the frog pond that is located towards the beginning of the trail. It was fun looking for frogs, and hearing them squeak as they dove into the water. The little frog statue is surely not something you want to miss!
Overall, I'll definitely be coming back to this sanctuary when I need some peace of mind. It's a beautiful space for contemplation and admiring nature.
A beautiful fall afternoon with colorful trees and birds. This is a fairly small place, but it's very quiet and a lovely place for a leisurely walk. The fountain is also attractive and there are nearby benches to watch the birds or just read. My wife and I had a great time.
A great Audubon sanctuary for birds,Learn, see and understand about nature, A wonderful experience for children. Take a peaceful walk and see birds and unplug. There is building that holds a lot of nature related stuff.nearby. . It is also the first National Audubon bird sanctuary. Plenty of parking in the nearby parking lot. The location is not easily seen from the main road, parking is located at the cemetery where the gravesite of Theodore Roosevelt is. If visit today the whole Sanctuary has been reconstructed and is even more fun and more beautiful. I believe it’s closed now for compleat and brand new design renovation possibly open Spring or Summer 2019
