Description
The front half of this park is very well groomed gravel such that baby strollers would easily navigate the loop; diverting at the cut to the Cedar Loop takes you on the margins of a field in the midst of being reclaimed by forest, so many eastern red cedars are here that it is nearly impossible to see across the small field! Moving into the Prairie Loop, you get to see a managed prairie that during the summer is host to all manner of butterflies and birds.
History & Background
This park was a bequest of Will and Harriet Miller, and was formerly part of their family farm that has been in continuous agricultural use for more than a century.
