Lua error in Module:Infobox at line 235: malformed pattern (missing ']'). Marshy Point Nature Center is a nature center in Middle River, Maryland. The center, built along the Dundee and Saltpeter Creeks,[1] is built on hunting grounds once used by U.S. President Benjamin Harrison.[2]

History

Groundbreaking began on the center on October 20, 1998, enabled by a $2.7 million grant.[2] In 2000, the state of Maryland spent $2 million to purchase the trails behind the center.[3]

The center officially opened to the public on May 1, 2000.

In 2005, $300,000 was approved for the expansion of the center.[4] This expansion provided 30% more space at the facility.
