The Goose Lake Prairie Partners will definitely miss our Partner who has mentored us all. Joannet Fleming, who has had a hand in all the activities at the park since 1985, has moved on to join her loving husband. Her time spent at the park was appreciated by her Partner friends as well as the administration and Park employees.
The Partners have so many memories of her effort to teach the
children about life on the prairie
and so many other jobs at the park.
Jo was a friend to all of us and
will be missed, and especially every
Cabin Festival...Jo's favorite job
was teaching the children and
visitors from the her three-legged
stool in the ole Cragg Cabin.

Visit the New Cragg Cabin! We celebrated the new Cragg Cabin June 4th, 2022, and dedicated it to the Education program. We presented the Cabin built of white oak logs to Goose Lake Prairie State Natural Area and IDNR.  Members
of theCragg Family descendants joined in the Festivities at the
Dedication. We thank the family for their contribution of red
oak wood which was used for roof underlayment and the floors
throughout the cabin as well as their support in all our endeavors.
The Cabin was erected on the GLPSNA site by Builder Todd Daggett and his Assistant Ken Daggett. The process of building was shared on our Facebook page. Look for "Goose Lake Prarie Partners Inc" for updates. Download the Revised Cragg Cabin History Story
