The Carson Nature Center was originally located a few miles away from where it currently sits. The home was built by the Carson family in the 1950’s and donated to the City of Littleton in 1982. The city converted into a nature center where students and visitors can come to learn about ecosystems along the Platte River Basin. The second level is used as offices for the park service.
