The mission of the Weedon Island Preserve Cultural and Natural History Center is to empower citizens to make informed decisions about natural and cultural resources. Center programs interpret the natural, cultural, and archaeological history of the preserve to show how the environment and people support and shape each other. Programs are hosted by the Cultural and Natural History Center, and yearly events are sponsored by its partners. The preserve is a 3,195-acre coastal system with aquatic and upland ecosystems, home to numerous native plant and animal species, and includes boardwalks and trails. It has a rich cultural history, including indigenous peoples who occupied the site for thousands of years, a focus on history and archaeology including prehistoric peoples, and a prehistoric dugout canoe that was excavated from the shoreline.
