Union School Interpretive Center
Built in 1865, Union School served the rural residents of nearby Logan County for more than 80 years. The historic building was moved to Weldon Springs in 1988. It was restored, furnished and equipped for use as both a visitor center and a temporary classroom for area school groups wanting to relocate for a day. Children often test their strength on the schoolhouse lawn by pulling on the big bell rope. An interpreter is available for talks, programs and activities to enhance the visitors' experience year-round.
More than a museum, Union School is a hands-on learning center emphasizing science and local history with a "please touch" philosophy. Included in the center is a collection of taxidermy mammals, representative of those making their homes in the park, that encourages visitors to pet a squirrel's tail, feel a badger's claws or examine beaver's teeth.
The Texas Township Community Building was moved to the prairie in 1995 and serves as the interpreter's office. The Town Hall houses collections of bird nests, rocks and minerals, mussels, animal tracks, grasses, butterflies and other insects.
