Sally MacBride Nature Center
The Sally MacBride Nature Center at Filoli is a nature education museum housed in a former barn and is accessible only on docent-led walks. The museum's collection includes taxidermied specimen of many of the birds and mammals that live in the Filoli Nature Preserve. There is also a collection of mammal skulls, local rocks, a relief map of the fault zone and examples of items made and used by Native Americans.
 The Sally MacBride Nature Center.Several existing buildings, including the old barn, were considered for the Center. At that time, the old barn was occupied and so a foaling barn was selected in 1987 and converted into a display building for the Nature Center and the nearby tack room became the Trail Committee Shop. Many individuals dedicated their time and resources to the creation of this interpretive museum. After work on the building was completed in 1988, a dedication ceremony was held and building was dedicated as the “Sally MacBride Nature Center.”
