During your stay, take advantage of all the Preserve has to offer -- hike our trails, paddle the lake, take a swim (when lifeguards are on-duty during summer months), and enjoy one of our public education programs. You'll also enjoy a fire pit and lawn games in the backyard, and a view of the lake from the front porch. The two-story building features five bedrooms, three bathrooms, a spacious kitchen, dining room, and cozy living room. Bedrooms are quipped with full and twin sized beds. Accommodates up to 11. Sorry, no pets.

Lincoln Pond CottageRemodeled in 2012, Lincoln Pond Cottage sits next to the spillway on Lincoln Pond. Its back porch offers a panoramic view of the pond. Across the lawn from the Eldridge Research Center, Lincoln Pond Cottage was built ca. 1790 as part of a farm and lumber mill.
The cottage has 2.5 bathrooms, a spacious, fully-equipped kitchen with dining space, living room, and four bedrooms with twin-sized beds or bunk beds. It houses up to 13 people and is often used by visiting researchers and summer students. Bullfrog Camp ComplexThe Bullfrog Camp complex is two buildings nestled on a hill overlooking Lincoln Pond. Bullfrog Camp has three bedrooms (each with a bunk bed), a kitchen, living room, and porch overlooking the pond. The bathhouse is beside the camp and has three private shower stalls and toilets. With room for six, this space is typically reserved for visiting researchers and summer students.

Eldridge Research Station
|
The Eldridge Research Station was redone in 1998. Originally a barn for milling operations, the building was the site of Donald Griffin's research on bat echolocation before being converted to our Research Center.
This 6,000 square foot facility includes an education room, conference room, offices, and wet and dry lab space. Equipment available for research use includes a drying oven, small autoclave, incubator, weigh scales, dissecting scope, and a 4.5 cubic foot refrigerator (no freezer). Limited satellite internet is available for basic browsing/email. If you need more bandwidth or faster connection speeds, cable internet is also available in the Visitors' Center. Guests requiring more than light internet usage are strongly encouraged to bring their own mobile hotspot. |
