Description
During the 1940s, Ralph M. Kneale, Jr. and his parents would spend a week or two during the summer and weekends during the spring and fall living at Look About Lodge. As Science Club members, they functioned as a host family to keep the Lodge open to the public. Built during the height of the Great Depression by the Cleveland Natural Science Club, Look About Lodge is a highlight of the Cleveland MetroParks. Serving for decades as a clubhouse and nature education center, the great log building, about forty feet wide and nearly a hundred feet long, is at the center of a broad program that has played a key role in educating students from Ohio and around the nation about the wonders of nature.
