Beautiful experience rich in history of the Children Author Gene- Stratton Porter.
My 7-year-old daughter started visiting this site with me when she was much younger in order to view the many animals, insects, and interesting plants. Over time, we wandered more often into the site’s visitor center where we met the knowledgeable and enthusiastic staff who encouraged our interest and inspired us to read Gene Stratton-Porter’s books in order to learn even more. My daughter’s (and my own) interests in nature and GSP have grown so much over the course of several visits to this site that she has begun to see Gene Stratton-Porter as a kind of role model.nnThis State Historic Site is a kind of sanctuary with a knowledgeable and dedicated staff that skillfully bring together nature, history, and literature in ways that make your visits educational and interesting for all ages. Ask the staff plenty of questions and you will learn much. Read a book by GSP and you will want to know even more. Highly recommended.
Awesome site. Was not aware of the history here. Grounds are absolutely beautiful.
Beautiful place! Love the variety of flowers in the gardens and the benches to sit in the most beautiful places on the property. I could spend all day here, I wish I could Vacation here ! Looking forward to being able to tour the home on my next visit.
Nice place to spend an hour or two. Decent outside trails as well as an internal tour of Gene’s house. I wish the other floors were open as it is a really cool house. But alas, fun nonetheless.
