The Nature
Discovery Center

This is likely the only museum in New Hampshire (perhaps New England) with a hands-on gall collection.  The Museum's collection includes more than fifteen kinds of galls.  Many of them you've likely seen and haven't realized what they were.  Be sure to check out the new gall exhibit; find out what a gall is and what causes them.
