Experience a progression of wildflowers in peak bloom at the historical prairies along the Prairie Grass Trail this summer!

These prairies existed before the time of the pioneer and were kept preserved by the railroad because the land could not be farmed.  Now the prairies are maintained by volunteers who share a vision of saving this heritage and providing educational opportunities through stewardship. 

Come ride to discover the beauty of the historic prairies!  Pause and become acquainted with these historic grasses and flowers.  Learn how to be a part of preserving them for our future.
