Raven Hill Discovery Center

Raven Hill Discovery Center (www.MiRavenHill.org)
is the only place in northern Lower Michigan where children and adults can link
science, history & the arts with hands-on activities and explorations both
inside and out. Connections emerge through exhibits, facilities & programs
that provide opportunities for all ages to learn, create, grow & play. Since opening in 1992, Raven Hill’s focus on connections
between science, history & art has strengthened. Visitors experience the
strands of science & technology, history and the arts interwoven through
the Center’s hands-on exhibits. Raven Hill Discovery Center’s mission-to provide
a place that enhances lifelong learning for all ages by connecting science,
history and art-continues to guide its growth and development. Raven Hill is a
teaching institution whose students are its visitors and its teachers are the
collections and displays, just as much as the staff and volunteers. Facilities
include the Main Museum, Fiber Studio, Print Shop, Wood Shop, School House,
Energy House and the Evolving Technologies (ET) Building. Outdoor exhibits
range from the new Watershed Model and Viewing Platform at Deer Creek;
Medicinal Gardens; Art & Architecture in Smallville; Earth Tones Music
Garden; Beyond Jurassic Park: The Earth’s Geologic History; Tree House;
Wetlands Boardwalk; Taxonomic (Taxi) Trail; The Ancient World and Learning
Gardens.
