Prairie Homestead in Jackson County was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in January 1974. Photographs by SHPO staff, 2014.
Built in 1909 during the homestead era West River, the house is a combination of three types of early prairie dwellings: a dugout, sod house, and claim shanty. A storage cave, barn (moved to the site), and chicken coop complete the farmstead. All are "dug in" to the hill—except the barn, which has board and batten walls.
The sod house was built in 1909 by Edgar I. Brown who homesteaded 160 acres near the Dakota Badlands. Although the Brown family moved away several years later, the "soddie" and its claim shack addition remained occupied until 1949. In 1966, a local rancher (who had lived in the area since 1910) began restoring the homestead. An old barn was moved onto the property to house machinery of the period.

A prairie fire burns in Becker County, Minnesota. I'm not sure if this is a planned burn or something just got a little out of hand. There were a lot of people around, but no fire trucks.

The prairie rattlesnake often matches the colour of the surrounding earth making them difficult to see. They rattle if alarmed, but not always. In the wind, which is nearly constant here, one might not hear their warning. These snakes are shy and retiring but they do require a respectful awareness of their presence.

May Prairie is a 492-acre natural area in Coffee County near Manchester. The most impressive feature at May Prairie is the open grassland community that protrudes into the surrounding oak forest where the oak barrens begin. The open grassland is primarily comprised of a little bluestem community and a tall grass prairie community with an occasional sedge meadow found in wet depressions. A swamp forest forms the headwaters of what once was the "prairie tributary." The tall grass prairie component with big bluestem (Andropogon gerardii), Indian grass (Sorghastrum nutans), switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) and plume grass (Erianthus giganteus) tend to follow the old prairie tributary. The little bluestem community represents the drier end of the prairie gradient and is prevalent throughout the open grassland. In spring, the little bluestem community provides a splendid floral display of orange, blue, and white color as Indian paintbrush, false indigo, and bluets appear in full bloom. In late summer many species of sunflower are common with the rare southern dock (Silphium pinnatifidum) and two species of blazing star (Liatris spicata and L. microcephala) prominently flowering.
May Prairie is one of the State's most floristically diverse natural areas with 25 of its more than 300 plant species that occur here considered rare in Tennessee. It supports disjunct plants known from the Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plains including the only state location for both the snowy orchid (Platanthera nivea) and the coastal false-asphodel (Tofieldia racemosa). In addition, May Prairie has many species common to the Midwest tall grass prairie that are unusual in the Southeast. May Prairie was discovered during a botany foray in 1947 by Dr. A. J. Sharp and colleagues from the University of Tennessee while stopping for lunch at the Prairie Café. They were told that a prairie could be found behind the restaurant.

There must be something "magic" about this power pole.
In past years, we have seen Gryfalcons (two) , Kestrels, Red Tailed Hawks and Prairie Falcons using this same pole.
