Located on-site is the first-ever residence for the Palgrave area, a historical log cabin built by the Jefferson family in 1833. AHCA opened its doors in 1955, and since then has been recognized as the first Conservation Facility in Ontario. AHCA is also home to one of the largest breeding grounds for Herons in Southern Ontario.

AHCA also features a community farm which employs sustainable agricultural practices while providing the surrounding community with local and ethically produced food.
