The small staff maintains several tanks of living caterpillars, that can be seen under microscopes and viewed on a large screen. The staff are thrilled to share their knowledge about caterpillars. They also have a large collection of books about caterpillars -- one that I picked up to browse was entitled, Caterpillars of West Virginia No charge to enter -- the project is carried by donations and by the sale of caterpillar related items such as jigsaw puzzles, posters, Tshirts and books The back story is that a little by named Sam Jaffe became fascinated by caterpillars, and had managed to turn his childhood passion into a passion project.

Mushrooms from David are very unique and you should definitely try all those mushrooms FRESH at least once in your lifetime. David goes to different farmers' markets and you can also contact him directly to see other methods to obtain those special mushrooms from him. I also attended the Mushroom Workshop at Wichland Woods over the weekend. The workshop was fun for people who want to learn about mushrooms and maybe growing the mushroom at home. You will need to go on a pretty difficult off-trail walk in order to pick your own mushrooms and most of them were not edible. However, I definitely gain lots of knowledge after this workshop. I also bought some Trumpet Mushroom and Lobster Mushrooms after the workshop. They were definitely delicious!

There is a small store filled with books penned by local authors, as well as local maps. Some postcards also are available. It's a great place!
