Marshy Point Nature Center is a nature center in Middle River, Maryland. The center, built along the Dundee and Saltpeter Creeks, is built on hunting grounds once used by U.S. President Benjamin Harrison.
History
Groundbreaking began on the center on October 20, 1998, enabled by a $2.7 million grant. In 2000, the state of Maryland spent $2 million to purchase the trails behind the center.
The center officially opened to the public on May 1, 2000.
In 2005, $300,000 was approved for the expansion of the center. This expansion provided 30% more space at the facility.
