MERCER COUNTY, NJ – Tulpehaking Nature Center, located in Hamilton Township, will host a birthday party to celebrate 10 years of service to Mercer County residents.

The celebrations will take place on Saturday, Oct. 12, from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m., at the Tulpehaking Nature Center, 157 Westcott Ave, Hamilton.

The event is open to the public, free for all attendees, and family-friendly for children of all ages.

Activities will include animal presentations, guided nature walks, live music, cake and ice cream.

County Executive Dan Benson will be present to welcome residents and offer remarks on the important role Tulpehaking Nature Center plays in Mercer County.

“I grew up in Hamilton’s Broad Street Park neighborhood, and it’s been great to see how the Tulpehaking Nature Center has enriched the community over ten years,” Benson said. “I’m excited to celebrate Tulpehaking’s birthday, and can’t wait to see what the next ten years bring.”

Operated by the Mercer County Park Commission, Tulpehaking Nature Center (TNC) is located at the edge of John A. Roebling Memorial Park in Hamilton and serves as the educational gateway to the Abbott Marshlands.

TNC’s offerings include award-winning school programs, homeschool and scout programs, and opportunities for seniors, children, and families to connect with the natural world.

Mercer County’s investments in the TNC have paid dividends for the natural environment and for local residents. Today neighbors report that the area is cleaner and safer than it was a decade ago. And thousands of Mercer residents have benefitted from the programs and resources that TNC offers.
