Did you know the American rabbit was originally called the German Blue Vienna? During World War I, its name was changed to promote unity and patriotism. As we reflect on the ideas of identity and look towards our country’s 250th anniversary, it’s the perfect moment to honor the remarkable history of heritage breed livestock and poultry that have shaped America’s landscapes, cultures, and cuisines. During Heritage Breeds Week, discover how onner Prairie is not only preserving the past, but also shaping the future of these rare and endangered animals.
This program is free with general admission.
