Iron Horse Prairie is a triangular shaped site between two diverging abandon railroad spurs. For many years, the "iron horses" of the railroad served to protect this 35-acre site from cultivation or other disturbance, leaving what is now the finest and largest contiguous example of mesic tallgrass prairie remaining in this southern corner of the state. Species diversity is very high on this site and includes the rare plant species Sullivant's milkweed, Indian plantain, wild quinine, and valerian.
With generous portions and mouth watering burgers that are done to perfection, homemade pizzas, steaks, and an amazing Philly, you cannot go wrong at the Iron Horse.
