LEAVES – The Honey Locust has doubly compound leaves, while the Black Locust just has compound leaves.

Yesterday, members of our Interpretive Team visite Yesterday, members of our Interpretive Team visited the Gene Stratton-Porter Historic Site in Rome City as they prepare for a future program on local, inspirational naturalists and explorers. They were guided by Tiffany Parker, Northern Regional Manager at Indiana State Museum & Historic Sites. Tiffany shared insights into the life and legacy of Gene Stratton-Porter. If you’re not familiar with Gene Stratton-Porter, she was a remarkable naturalist, conservationist, filmmaker, and prolific author. Her writings captured the beauty of the Limberlost Swamp and surrounding areas, inspiring generations to care about nature. She was also a trailblazer in the early conservation movement, helping to lay the groundwork for environmental stewardship in Indiana and beyond. #genestrattonporter #indianastatemuseum
