Lake Erie Nature and Science Center located in Huntington Park Reservation, was originally founded in 1945 by Mrs. Elberta Fleming. Originally started at her home, it moved into the children's bedroom and bathroom of Rose Hill when it was a library. The librarian at Rose Hill, Eve Taylor Gleeson, was very influential in procuring the funds for the new building.
LENSC is nationally recognized in nature and science. Schools from all over the Greater Cleveland area visit each year. An expansion has been initiated in 2025 to expand the facility and improve display areas.
