The site at 163 East 2000 Road, about 3 miles southeast of Baldwin City, is tied to the events of Bleeding Kansas. It includes the historic Robert Hall Pearson farmhouse, nature trails, Captain’s Creek, restored prairie, picnic areas, and a sugar maple grove.
The seven-member advisory board includes staff support through Douglas County Heritage Conservation Coordinator Kaitlyn Ammerlaan, who serves as staff liaison. The park is owned by Douglas County and Baldwin City and is open to the public daily from dawn to dusk.
The survey is estimated to take 10–15 minutes and is open through Sunday, Aug. 30.
