Original 180 acres purchased with money raised from local community. Following is the purchase of the Holderness Inn and surrounding facilities as well as a tract of land atop Mt. Fayal. With the Inn comes a small piece of land on Little Squam which will prove to be a valuable asset for future lake programs.
We gained national accreditation from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) distinguishing us among the very finest educational institutions and the only AZA-accredited organization in all of northern New England.
