The Betty Dunn Nature Center located in Fall Creek Falls State Park 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.
The Interpretive Rangers, based at the Nature Center, provide programs for scheduled groups as well as
first-come-first-served basis. Programs include various nature hikes, canoe trips, spelunking adventures,
and star gazing. Contact the Nature Center at 423-881-5708 if you would like to schedule a school group
or organization.
