The amount of history with regards to Jack and his wife and extensive hunting career is awesome. A must stop location.

My husband and I spent over an hour here. We are avid hunters and loved looking at all the mounts and speaking with Jacks daughter.

Neat history. Be aware that it cost to drive in the park to OConnor but to get into OConnor is free.

The Jack OConnor Center is one of those places that speaks to a specific group of people.... people who remember Jack OConnor as the Outdoor Life writer, big game hunter, and early wildlife conservationist that he was. The center is full of his memorabilia including his favorite hats, guns, writings, and numerous trophies. If you want to revisit days gone by and learn about a true American Sportsman, then I recommend a trip to the center.

This is a nice little museum. Definitely fun for kids to see different animals up close. It is the collection of an avid hunter. There is information to read and learn and books to purchase.

Great history and story. Very knowledgeable staff. Only problem I have as an animal and nature lover is the trophy hunting. Can say it was a different era all you want but truth is, humans have devastated animal populations for a long long time before Jack was even born. To think he could be different than any other was his mistake. Now he has the heads of endangered animals on his walls and instead of regretting it they celebrate it. I will never understand how anyone can kill for pleasure.
