LC Nature Park spans over 200 acres and is dedicated to preserving Indiana's native flora and fauna. The heart of the park is a renovated late 1890's barn, now serving as a versatile learning center for small and large groups. The barn was carefully lifted from its original foundation and placed back with new footings, walls, and a concrete slab. It's exterior now boasts new siding, large storefront windows, roll-up glass doors, an accordion-style entrance, and a wrap around deck featuring custom cedar/metal handrails where you can view the parks bison roaming around.

 

Inside, you'll find a state of the art instructional kitchen with two moveable islands, fresh wide plank flooring, loft with custom handrails, wheelchair lift, and modern restrooms. The client's aim was to preserve the barn's original charm while updating it to meet contemporary standards, including new lighting and in-floor heating.
