Roger Tory Peterson Institute of Natural History
Roger Tory Peterson Institute of Natural History Review
Named for Jamestown native and noted naturalist Roger Tory Peterson (1908-96), who wrote the seminal Field Guide to the Birds in 1934 (which spawned today's best-selling Peterson Field Guides series), this 27-acre center seeks to educate children about nature. You may hike the wooded trails, or explore one of the natural-history exhibits. The gallery shows a selection of works by Peterson and others.
