Prairie Days has a history that began with a vision to showcase the beauty of the prairie. The event emerged from the collaboration of passionate individuals who secured a grant to host the renowned Smithsonian exhibit, Listening to the Prairie - Farming in Nature's Image. This exhibit inspired the birth of Prairie Days, a community-wide celebration that has been captivating hearts since 2004.​
