Trillium House

The Trillium House is the home of the Wintergreen Nature Foundation. It houses exhibits, the shoppe, and an excellent collection of natural history books.

Robin's Nook

This children's play area is geared towards all those youngsters who need a space of their own. Located in our loft, there is a puppet theater, games, an art center, natural objects to see and touch, and children's library. We also have an archeology exhibit with spearpoints and artifacts from archaic man. Robin's Nook is open during the same hours as Trillium House.

The Shoppe

This small shoppe has a bit of everything. If you are interested in picking up a small gift while at Wintergreen the shoppe is a wonderful stop. With a wide array of Burt's Bees, Life is Good, and hand painted gifts, you will be sure to please anyone on your list. For the outdoor lover there are many field guides and gardening landscaping books. Members of the Nature Foundation receive a ten percent discount on all shoppe items. The shoppe has the same hours as Trillium House.

Exhibits

A visit to Trillium House includes many exhibits. Say hello to Arthur the California Kingsnake, see native birds, explore the process of propogating native plants, re-create tracks of native wildlife, touch the fur from wild mammals, and discover a typical Native American dwelling in our region. All exhibits are open the same hours as Trillium House.

New Exhibits
  • Check out our newest exhibit, "Taste of the Trail". Showcasing the edible and medicinal uses of some common forest plants, the exhibit will make you want to track the plants and trees down and try them out.
  • "The History of the Land" is open and waiting for you. Actual artifacts found during Wintergreen archaeological surveys, a reconstructed wigwam with animal skins, artifacts to touch and feel, a mock archaeological dig and a sample test pit await visitors of all ages. Come and enjoy - and keep watching for Phase II!
