Gallant Farm Preserve

Troy Township - 19 Acres - 2150 Buttermilk Hill Road, Delaware
















 

Spined Micrathena
Look for these oddly-shaped spiders with a large rear and spiny black projections as you walk through the woods this time of year. .
 

 
They build their large orb webs, with a tight spiral, "face high" across walking paths.

The spiders are harmless to humans and you could practice your limbo skills as you try to avoid destroying their webs.
 

 
 

Gallant Farm Preserve was purchased in 2003. Funds for the purchase and the construction of an entrance drive were obtained through a grant from the CleanOhio Fund. Located directly across Buttermilk Hill Road from Gallant Woods Preserve, this 19 acre park will be the site of a reproduction historic 1930’s-1940’s era farm. The farmstead will consist of a house in the appropriate style of the time, a variety of buildings which would have been utilized by the farmer during that time period, various gardens and orchards, as well as demonstration crop fields. Additionally, there will be a small welcome center and farm museum to give visitors an introduction to the farmstead.
