Jack Miner Foundation

The Jack Miner Bird Sanctuary offers adults and children alike a truly memorable experience to connect with nature.

You will be able to get up close and personal to hand feed geese and ducks with the supplied free barley. Spend the afternoon exploring and learning about the local wildlife and natural habitats on over 400 acres of natural landscape and see peacocks, exotic pheasants, wild turkeys and tundra swans.

The Jack Miner Museum, where admission is also free, allows visitors to view 150 years of historical Miner memorabilia, or as some writers note this as 'from a poacher to a preacher' exhibit. The original catching net as well as the sarcophagus burial site of Jack and Laona Miner are also accessible.

So pack up a picnic lunch and drive out to our region and discover what the area has to offer. Where else will you get the opportunity to share a truly unique, relaxing, educational and fun filled day with your family?

The Jack Miner Bird Sanctuary is open Monday thru Saturday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and admission is always free.
