Whitehouse Nature Center

Welcome to the greenest classroom on campus!

Named in honor of Dr. William W. Whitehouse, tenth president of Albion College, the Whitehouse Nature Center seeks to stimulate awareness and understanding of our natural environments among college, school, community, and other groups of all ages.

We proudly care for 140 acres’ worth of outdoor education; and it comes complete with a visitors’ center that houses a classroom, wildlife observation room, and live exhibits of reptiles and amphibians. We are owned and operated by Albion College, but our facilities and services are open to public schools and the community for environmental education.

Remember, the Nature Center is your place to enjoy, not destroy; to linger, not litter.  Thank you!
