join us…

The Butterfly Exhibit starts this week we will be under the picnic shelter on Conservation Drive from July 10th through July 20th. This educational exhibit is operated by All A Flutter Butterflies. There is a detour on SR 39 that will last for a few days at the beginning of the exhibit. This does not effect getting to the Norma Johnson Center when coming from Dover.

We will have the interactive display with Native Ohio Butterflies, free crafts for the children along with items for sale. Face painting will also be available at certain times. The Pollinator trail will be marked along the NJC trails if you would like to explore these wonderful creatures in their natural habitat.

We would like to thank the O’Donnell Family Charitable Foundation for once again sponsoring this event. Over 32,500 people have attended our event since 2010. We are truly blessed.
The exhibit will be open Monday through Saturday for 10-4 and Sunday 12-4. If you have questions or would like to volunteer at our event, please send an email to: info@normajohnsoncenter.com
