Grand Opening
Nestled in the heart of historic Milton, Florida, the Panhandle Butterfly House & Nature Center is a one-of-a-kind destination dedicated to connecting people with the wonders of the natural world. Housed in the beautifully restored T.W. Jones House, our nature center is a living tribute to both the rich history of the Florida Panhandle and the vibrant ecosystems that thrive here. Originally built in the late 1870s and transformed into a charming Craftsman bungalow in 1922, the Jones House now serves as the centerpiece of our nine-acre site—where history, education, and conservation meet.
