Welcome!
The Broughton Foundation welcomes you to the Broughton Nature and Wildlife Education Area and the Elizabeth Sugden Broughton Community Building—gathering spaces where nature and community come together.
We invite you to experience the beauty of hundreds of acres of mostly undisturbed habitat and the chance to gather—inside or outside—in natural surroundings.
With a dedication to preserving Southeast Ohio’s woodlands, we are committed to preserving natural beauty for the enjoyment of all. Likewise, we are concerned with the well-being of our guests. We encourage everyone to take appropriate health and safety-related precautions. Please be aware of your surroundings to protect yourself and members of your party.
