In 1957, the Morgan May family estate sold their lands in Washington County,
Minnesota to the Amherst Wilder Foundation. The Foundation and the Science Museum
soon after developed the site for environmental science and nature programming, and
began hosting summer programs and school groups in the mid 1960s.
The site was purchased by the Lee and Rose Warner Foundation, and renamed the Lee and
Rose Warner Nature Center in 1970. The Foundation later merged with the Manitou
Fund, which was operated by former Minnesota Vikings owner Donald McNeely. The
merged foundation continued their partnership with the Minnesota Science Museum, and
expanded the Center's acreage and programming. In total, the site encompassed 1,400
acres of prairies, forest, wetlands, bogs, and lakes, including the Warner and
Wilder Woods, Terrapin Lake, and May Lake.
In late 2019, the Manitou Fund ended its long-term partnership with the Science
Museum of Minnesota, and closed the Lee and Rose Warner Nature Center.
