(Horicon) The Wisconsin Department of Resources announced Tuesday that the Horicon Marsh Education and Visitor Center is now open. The building closed down in March due to a boiler malfunction.
The 33,000-acre property comprises the Horicon Marsh State Wildlife Area and Horicon National Wildlife Refuge. The Education and Visitor Center is designed to help visitors learn about the unique environment’s wildlife, ecology, and history.
DNR Wildlife Educator Liz Herzmann says there are few places in Wisconsin that rival Horicon Marsh in the spring. She adds that the abundance of waterfowl, dazzling warblers, and critical wetland habitat makes this property a phenomenal destination this time of year.
The Explorium, which is an immersive and fully interactive exhibit that explores the history of the Horicon Marsh from the Ice Age to present day, is also open to the public.
