Farbach-Werner Nature Preserve
Tranquility just around the corner.
Tucked away in a lively commercial corridor, this destination offers a welcomed escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. With a rich history dating back to the early 1800s, it was originally granted to a Revolutionary War veteran and later became home to a toolmaker, whose barn and home still stand on the property today. Donated to Great Parks in 1972, the preserve has remained a beloved community gathering space.
