The Ned Smith Center located just outside Millersburg in Dauphin County celebrates the life and work of Ned Smith, a world famous wildlife artist-illustrator who grew up in the area.

In this special Video Blog story, Jerry Regan, Executive Director of the Ned Smith Center, provides an overview of the Center, its beautiful 500 acre setting and how it connects people of all ages to the arts and environment.

Scott Weidensaul, volunteer curator and member of the Ned Smith Center Board, talks about the work of Ned Smith, his inspiration and methods through examples in the Center’s collection and those donated by other collectors.

A first-of-its-kind special exhibit of artwork by John James Audubon from the Mill Grove collection will be featured at the Center beginning April 17. The gallery portion of the Center will be closed until April 16 to prepare for the exhibit.
