Prophetstown

Celebrate the Gift of the Land!

Situated within the Prophetstown State Park and 5 miles north of Lafayette, Historic Prophetstown interprets a unique Indiana story.  We are dedicated to enhancing public awareness of the history of the Wabash River Valley region of Indiana.  Discover a three way mirror to the past that reflects the prairie, the Native American Settlement, and the 1920s Farmstead.  This land holds valuable lessons about those people who hunted, farmed, loved, lost, and changed the land over the last 200 years.

Our Mission is to enhance public awareness of the history of the Wabash River Valley region of Indiana.

Guess the Date (results)!

Emma calved on April 16 at 2:30pm.  Sandi Springs is the winner of our contest.  She received a family membership and also gets to name the heifer calf.  Sandi picked her date because it was her late grandmother’s birthday and her grandmother loved cows.  Thank you to everyone who sent in an entry.  Come out and see our latest edition to our herd!
