It feels like springtime is coming early this week. The air is getting warmer, the sunlight stronger, and at the Claytor Nature Center, fresh coats of paint have been added on the Cloverlea Farmhouse and its Buttermilk Wing.
Visitors who walk along the shady path to Cloverlea Farmhouse will notice the trees and shrubberies have been neatly manicured, the lanes leveled and repaired, and the earthy spice of fresh mulch still clings to the air.
Spring means reawakening, and the Claytor Center is doing just that, after a brief period during which these renovations were completed. Soon, scenes like these will be regular occurrences.
It’s no wonder that Claytor has long been a coveted destination for married couples. Sowing Clover Photography’s Chris Jones has shared that his recent shoot at the site went viral on the online wedding-photography sphere.
This May, Claytor will host a reopening that will feature a vendor fair, carnival events, and open trailheads, so that guests will be able to explore the site’s 8 miles of shady woodlands, open fields, wetlands, and riverside cliffs.
Visitors inside the farmhouse are also sure to appreciate the addition of HVAC and air-conditioning units in the long, hot months to come. You can take a break from the heat and poke around in this picturesque structure that dates back to the 1780s.
