For well over a hundred years, native prairie plants hung on in this tiny refuge, popping up among the tombstones and fence lines. Since the earlier 1980s, the cemetery has been managed as a prairie, and the native vegetation has sprung back in full force - often obscuring the remaining headstones. Walking gingerly through the preserve is like stepping back in time, to an era when these plants ruled many millions of midwestern acres. Culver's root, wild quinine, coneflower, and many other species of wildflowers occur here, and do a variety of native grasses. The entrance is along IN 63, is marked and fairly obvious.
Parking is limited to about two cars.
