About the provider

Eden Mill Nature Center Programs & Camps was founded in 1991. Harford County Department of Parks and Recreation acquired the mill and 57 acres in 1965. The mission is to provide the opportunity for all people to develop a greater appreciation and awareness of the natural and historical resources of the area by encouraging the use of the facilities and programs at Eden Mill. The program works with Harford County Parks and Recreation and hosts special events to benefit the citizens of the community and the volunteer efforts of the Eden Mill Recreation Council.
