Did you know? From bogs to wetlands to hardwood forests, the museum is the caretaker for nearly 12,000 acres of diverse habitat and the rare plants and animals that reside there.

From bogs to wetlands to hardwood forests, the museum is the caretaker for nearly 12,000 acres of diverse habitat and the rare plants and animals that reside there.

The ancient rock formations are tucked back in a wooded corner of the donated property and beg to be explored, although the public is not welcome to visit, at least not yet. What makes these ledges particularly interesting, Svenson said, is the water that drips off the rocks and oozes up from the ground, creating spongy seeps that migrate beneath matted leaves. The water eventually makes its way to a stream that flows into the Chagrin River.

A thorough assessment of the biodiversity in and around the ledges has yet to be conducted, but the outcroppings likely provide a refuge for bats in the winter, Ormiston said. And when the weather warms, those bats will raise their young under the exfoliating bark of “nurse trees,” such as the shagbark hickory.There are other compelling elements to the 723 acres known as Crosscavan Farm that are mostly woodlands but also include fields that have pastured horses and grown hay in the past.
