This area is also one of the areas best birding locations each spring and fall as the tropical and native birds migrate to and from breeding grounds in Canada. This depression era farm is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and was the home of Bob and Fran Roush. November 2014 marked the opening of the Wilson Nature Center.
