Butterfly Ridge is a butterfly conservation center focusing on the health and well-being of butterflies native to southeastern Ohio.

Nestled within the serene landscapes of southeastern Ohio lies a haven of natural wonder – Butterfly Ridge. This enchanting butterfly conservation center is a tribute to the delicate beauty of these winged creatures that call the region home.

Butterfly Ridge opened its magical gates to visitors in July 2017, and since then, it has been an oasis of fascination and discovery. The roots of the garden run deep, spanning generations, as it graces a 21-acre property that has been well-loved by the same family since 1863.
