If you lived here, you’d have a home where the buffalo roam! Based on archeological evidence that they once lived here American Bison have been reintroduced into Payne’s Prairie along with long-horn cattle and horses descended from stock imported by Spanish settlers. There is a rich diversity of plant and animal life here in a fascinating environment. We explored the visitors center and climbed the observation tower. After all that excitement we treated ourselves to an amazing BBQ meal at Pearl’s Country Store in the Marathon station on US-441. If you are hungry anywhere near here, you owe it to yourself to stop at Pearl’s not just for the tasty smoked meats but for some incredible vegetable dishes!
Winter Magic in Medina
By deliberate choice we were in Medina for all the winter holiday festivities from Candlelight Walk in the days before Thanksgiving through A Christmas Carol and A Celtic Christmas as well as an Alex Bevan Concert and a historic house tour all the way through Medina’s 31st Ice Festival but perhaps the highlight was the town hosting hundreds of folks whose homes and lives were devasted by Hurricane Helene at the A Promise of Christmas Event the middle of January. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!
