Lussier Family Heritage Center

Lussier Family Heritage Center The Lussier Family Heritage Center provides outdoor and environmental education experiences for persons of all ages and ability levels.

We strive to connect all people with the outdoors as parks and open-spaces are vital to mental and physical well-being. Discover the Lussier Family Heritage Center as the destination for your next meeting, special event or recreational and educational activity. The center offers a unique natural setting only 10 minutes from downtown Madison in William G. Lunney Lake Farm County Park and the Capita

l Springs Recreation Area. It also is easily accessed via two major shared-use trails: the Lower Yahara River Trail and the Capital City State Trail. The Lussier Family Heritage Center connects the community to natural resources through education, recreation, and experiences. The native prairie, freshwater marsh, and oak savanna habitats on the rolling hills of glacial drumlins, offer a scenic setting for many year-round recreational opportunities and other activities including meetings, events, weddings, and educational opportunities.
