The Overbrook Nature Center
The Overbrook Nature Center is a place where the outside is "in". The Overbrook Nature Center is the centerpiece for our nature programs at the SM&NC. Come and visit the exhibit area and pick up a map to explore our nature trails or meet there for an informative program with one of our naturalists.
You’ll find everything you need to remember your visit in our Overbrook Gift Shop
Located in the Overbrook Nature Center between the Otter Pond and Nature’s Playground, our Gift Shop carries SM&NC souvenirs and gifts for children and adults, farm and nature-related toys, cold drinks and delicious snacks including ice cream during the warmer months, local honey, SM&NC’s own maple syrup (produced right here on the farm, and available seasonally in limited quantities), Exhibition posters, SM&NC logo apparel, and much more.
While you're at the shop, enjoy the Overbrook Nature Center’s changing assembly of small animal ambassadors, dioramas of Connecticut wildlife, rocks and minerals, or simply watch the birds at the bird feeder viewing window.
We're open daily throughout the warmer months.
