The Betty Dunn Nature Center was dedicated to the First Lady of Tennessee by Tennessee
House Resolution No. 328 in February, 1974, for her tireless energy,
creativeness, and talent towards developing the Nature Center into a
facility.
Today the Betty Dunn Nature Center includes a small interpretive center and a bookstore. The interpretive center provides information
on the region's geologic history, vegetation, ecology, wildlife and cultural history. The bookstore contains resource books for all ages on
various natural and cultural resources in Tennessee, especially those on the Cumberland Plateau.
T-Shirts, caps and various other gifts and momemtos can also be found in the Nature Center bookstore.
