The preserve is a portion of the original tract purchased by the Steeles in 1907 for their residence and studio. It was, in part, selected at that time by Mr. Steele due to its relatively undisturbed condition and scenic beauty. The property was a gift of Selma Steele to the Department of Conservation in 1945, under the condition that the property be preserved as a memorial. The spring wildflower display is splendid.
