Take a walk around the Memorial Area and discover the gray squirrel scurrying around gathering food for winter, a butterfly getting its lunch on a flower in the Colonial Revival Garden, or a red fox searching for a snack to take back to its den.

If you visit the park during the winter months, you may see the tundra swans arriving during their winter migration, or a river otter quietly moving through the water, or perhaps hear a white-footed mouse or northern short-tailed shrew scurrying through the frozen leaves.

Whatever brought you to the park, the birthplace has an array of animals that will help foster your connection with nature.
