The center is located on a 70-acre farm in the beautiful rolling hills of Tuscarawas County. It includes a century-old farmhouse, a barn, and the Robert C. Bolon Academic Field Study Center. Most of the property is wooded with a pond, a number of natural springs and streams, valleys and hills, and fields.

The Metzger Nature center is ideal for educational purposes and group retreats. Specialized weekend classes in various social science areas occur each year. The ONU Archaeology Field School conducts archeological 'digs' during April and May on the property and in the region.
