About the Rey Center
The Rey Center honors the legacy of Margret and H.A. Rey, children's book author and illustrator of Curious George, Whiteblack the Penguin, and The Stars: A New Way to See Them.
Temporarily housed in Waterville Valley's "Town Square, the Rey Center will soon have a new and permanent home. That new campus will include an earth and sky observatory, a visual and performing arts center, a meeting house, an outdoor theater, and a village green with access to walking and biking trails in the White Mountain National Forest. The campus will be a model for energy conservation and technologies for a sustainable future.
The Rey Center
Environmental stewardship is a major initiative of the Rey Center and will play an even stronger role in the future Rey center.
Along with building a new campus to better offer education in the arts and sciences, Rey Center initiatives supported by NHSGC include: 
Earth and Sky Observatory
The Rey Center offers environmental monitoring and astronomy programs. An automated weather station atop Mt. Tecumseh will be a key element in the new campus. Real-time weather data will display at the Rey Center and at the McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center.
Stewardship of NH's Mountains
The Rey Center for Mountain Stewardship 
is now in partnership with the Appalachian Mountain Club’s Mountain Watch program. They organize birdwatching trips, alpine ecology lectures, and mountain climate and astronomy groups.
Local Gardening
The Curious Gourds Gardens supply local restaurants with fresh organically-grown vegetables and offer community memberships and garden plots to local families.
