About Penn-Sylvania Prairie
The 160-acre Penn-Sylvania Prairie was saved by the Missouri Prairie Foundation in 1971 and lies approximately one mile southwest of the Missouri Department of Conservation’s Niawathe Prairie Natural Area (320 acres) and less than two miles southeast of Stony Point Prairie Conservation Area (960 acres). Heavily invaded by brush when purchased, Missouri Prairie Foundation’s prairie operations manager has restored this original prairie to its open splendor.

A total of 288 plant species have been recorded from Penn-Sylvania, which is named for historical towns in the area.

In June 2006, Missouri Prairie Foundation purchased 80 acres to the north of Penn-Sylvania, called Coyne Prairie. Missouri Prairie Foundation helps manage the 80 acres of original prairie between Coyne and Penn-Sylvania, which is owned by a private individual.

Directions: Penn-Sylvania Prairie is located in Dade County, 2 miles west of MO-97 on Hwy. E, then south on CR 199 for 0.5 mile. Parking is available at the gate on the west side of CR 199. From Pennsylvania Prairie web site
