The Nurture Nature Center is located in Easton, Pennsylvania, an hour and a half from Philadelphia and New York City. It is two blocks from a pair of major tourist attractions, which draw 250,000 visitors a year to Easton. One is the National Canal Museum, which has recently been outfitted with state of the art interactive, educational exhibits, thanks to a major National Science Foundation grant. The other is the Crayola Factory, a popular destination for families with young children.

Easton lies at the intersection of the Delaware River and its second largest tributary, the Lehigh River. The city marks the northernmost point of the scenic Delaware Canal State Park, which runs for sixty miles alongside the river, with bicycle paths and boating along the way, and is also a part of the Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor.


Easton is a historic town, with a vibrant arts scene and diverse population base. It is home to one of the country's leading liberal arts colleges, Lafayette, with a student population of over 2,000.


Farmers Market

Easton has a vibrant farmer's market, established in 1752, the year of the City's founding. The market remains a rich and colorful piece of Easton's heritage, standing proudly in its birthplace, the “Great Square” where it has served the needs of the people of Easton for 256 years. The market today plays a new and important role in revitalizing the City, providing a sense of spirit and community.
