These rare alkaline wetlands are home to specialized plants & animals that thrive in harsh conditions including the insectivorous sundew, rare spotted turtle, and massasauga rattlesnake. The Clark County Historical Society operates the historic Crabill Homestead, bringing pioneer days back to life.
