NATIONAL RUBY- THROATED HUMMINGBIRD CENTER to open in Henderson, MN in the near future!

NOTE: December 2023! We are very proud to say the Henderson City Council approved the purchase of the St Joseph’s Church and Parish Center. Henderson Feathers, Inc. will lease the buildings for the National Ruby-Throated Hummingbird Center to open in 2024! The “Center” will be an extension of the Hummingbird Garden and Hurrah, which will remain just as before! More details regarding the “Center” to be announced in the near future. We appreciate all the support we have been privileged to enjoy over the years and welcome new friends of the Hummingbirds in the future. Dolores Hagen, the founder of Henderson Feathers back in 2008, I believe would be very proud and we will keep her memory in our plans for the future.

THANK YOU!
