Springhouse Barrens is located roughly a half-mile north of the Eastview Barrens State Nature Preserve in western Hardin County. Dedicated Sept. 8, 2004, the 56-acre preserve contains a highly significant limestone barrens and glade community and supports a wide variety of grassland species, including the state-endangered Prairie gentian (Gentiana puberulenta) and state-threatened Eggert’s sunflower (Helianthus eggertii).
This site is privately owned and is not open to the public except during a commission-sponsored event. Research may be conducted by written permission.
