Reviews
"Nice nature preserve in a county with few wildlife sanctuaries! This a great place to spend a few hours appreciating nature, especially grassland birds like Swallows, Meadowlarks, & Bobolinks as well as an excellent diversity of wildflowers & butterflies. I hope the Delaware Highlands Conservancy continues to manage the grounds for such in the years that lie ahead. Visitors should prepare for tall grass on the trails (mowing is sometimes delayed for spring wildflowers) and hot sunny conditions with little shade."
"We had a great stroll around the Conservatory on a chilly winter day. The paths are well marked and it was very kid friendly in terms of hike difficulty. Strongly recommend!"
"I grew up near this place. I use to work on this farm when it was a Dairy Farm and was own by Art Koberlein. Have a lot of good memories as a kid. My Dad was born in a House across from the farm in 1928. Some of the graves on the hill related to them through the Gregory Family."
"This park is beautiful! The trails are well maintained marked. Walk though old farm fields, woods, and around nice ponds. My kids loved walking through the fields, and there are enough trails to stay for a while and enjoy nature. The staff in the office were also very nice and informative."
