The Living Prairie Museum is a 13-hectare tall grass prairie preserve and nature park. Set aside in 1968, the preserve is home to more than 150 different grass and wildflower species and an array of prairie wildlife.

Prior to European settlement, tall grass prairie covered more than 1 million square kilometers in central North America, stretching from Texas to southern Manitoba. Today, this habitat is all but gone – only 1 percent of the original tall grass prairie remains. The Living Prairie Museum is one of the few remaining fragments of this once vast ecosystem.

Public Guided Hikes
Learn about the tall grass prairie by joining us for a free guided hike! Public hikes are available for groups of up to 10 individuals. Please call to register in advance.

Tuesdays in August – 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.
