Since its November 1974 incorporation, Great Valley Nature Center (formerly the Nature Center of Charlestown) has provided the Greater Philadelphia region, including Chester County, with environmental education opportunities. Arnold Bartschi contributed the land and start-up costs to establish the nature center.

As of 2017, the corporation has been dissolved. As of Spring 2019, the property is currently owned by a bank that wishes to foreclose upon it and sell it to a private party. Charlestown is currently fighting against such action
