Crex Meadows Wildlife Area
Crex Meadows is the largest wildlife area in Wisconsin. It contains 30,000 acres of prairie, wetlands, and forests. Since its purchase in 1945 work has been underway to restore the native plant and wildlife communities that were disrupted during settlement by wetland drainage and control of naturally occurring wildfires. Because of intense management conducted at Crex, native plants and wildlife are again flourishing. This wildlife showplace is home to 270 kinds of birds and numerous other wildlife plus an abundance of colorful prairie flowers that bloom throughout the spring and summer.

Forts Folle Avoine Historical Park
www.theforts.org
Forts Folle Avoine Historical Park is located on 80 wooded acres along the Yellow River near Danbury, Wisconsin. The park is a living history site where reconstructed fur trade posts occupy the actual sites where they were once operated from 1802 to 1805, alongside an authentic Woodland Indian Village.
The 80-acre park, a National Register of Historic Places site, is operated by the Burnett County Historical Society with support from the membership and Burnett County Parks Recreation and Tourisim Dept.
The Yellow River trading posts were re-discovered in 1969 by Harris and Francis Palmer and Gene and Lafayette Connor. Information in the journal of George Nelson, the XY Company clerk, eventually led researchers to the site. The site is unique for several reasons: the exact site of the wintering posts was found, the posts were undisturbed for nearly 200 years giving archeologist a pure site to investigate and, that the two competing companies were in the same location.
The Wisconsin State Historical Society conducted archeological studies during the 1970’s and 1980’s. The charred remains provided the evidence needed to reconstruct the wintering posts exactly as they were over 200 years ago.
THE PARK INCLUDES:
• 5,000 sq. ft. log Visitor Center
• Museums & Gift Shop
• Palmer House Research Library
• Outdoor Amphitheater
• 1887 Karlsborg Schoolhouse
• Summer Hiking Trails
• Scenic Cross-Country Ski Trails
