Located off of Tin Mine Road in Jackson, NH, the Jackson Field Station was the home of Tin Mountain Conservation Center's Founder, Barbara Rockwell Henry and her husband David Henry.  Barbara founded TMCC in 1980 and lived at the Jackson property until her death in 1991.  In addition to providing housing to our resident caretaker, the Field Station Building, constructed in 1981, also serves as the center for Jackson Summer Camp. 

An extensive trail network weaves through the Field Station’s 228 acres.  Located at the center of the property, Tin Mountain is a wooded summit that offers viewpoints of surrounding peaks.  The Jackson property is also home to one of the first known tin mines in North America. Although the mine never yielded much tin, the entrance and a pit remain to tell the story.  Stone cellar holes and the old Jackson-to-Dundee Road are all that remain from the first colonial settlers who called this area home. The Jackson Field Station has ponds and forests of red spruce, hemlock and balsam-fir as well as old northern hardwoods. This a beautiful spot to hike and enjoy the natural world.
