Located along the B2B Trail in Dexter-Huron Metropark, the Title IX Plaza is a joint project between WCPARC and HWPI. This project honors the impact of Title IX legislation on women’s sports in southeast Michigan.

The site, which is approximately 60’ X 90 feet in size, lies 275 feet west of the Huron River and immediately south of this B2B Trail segment traversing an oxbow in the river. A mature oak grove establishes the project boundary on the south and east of the site, while a tall grass prairie defines the western edge.

A large wetland complex ('Trinkle Marsh') is a premier spot for watching waterfowl. Every spring and fall, dozens of species of birds, including ducks, shorebirds, herons, cranes, and more, stop on their migration journey. Additionally, many other species use the preserve as their summer home for nesting and raising young birds. Two convenient boardwalks and overlooks take you to the water’s edge getting you close to wildlife.

Other features of the preserve include a scenic woodlot adjacent to the marsh. Another wetland complex is situated in the northern portion of the preserve. Portions of the property remain as active farmland, as it has been for well over 100 years.

Motawi Tileworks makes handcrafted tile as art pieces and for residential and commercial installations. Owner and Artistic Director Nawal Motawi began creating historically inspired tile in her garage and selling it at the local farmers market. Demand for her work grew, and in 1992 Motawi formed The Tileworks, which came to specialize in Art Nouveau, Arts and Crafts and Midcentury Modern aesthetics. In addition to its own unique designs, The Tileworks is also licensed to produce art tile based on the work of Frank Lloyd Wright and Charley Harper. Motawi art tiles are now sold in more than 300 locations in the U.S. and Canada, and Motawi tile installations grace homes and public spaces worldwide.

You catch your own fish from our spring-fed, pollution-free ponds that are stocked weekly with fish grown right on the farm. Fish in their Farm-Raised Channel Catfish ponds or Rainbow Trout pond. There is even a Children's Trout pond reserved for our little anglers under 10 years old. The environment is so perfect in the ponds, they can even guarantee a catch on every outing!

Spring Valley sits on 20 acres of carefully maintained grounds in a park setting. Visitors can stroll the park which includes nine spring-fed ponds ranging from a half-acre to an acre in size. On these grounds are two covered picnic pavilions which seat up to 100 people each, a children's play area and an authentic American log cabin used as a fishing lodge with handicap restrooms.

About 3/4 of a mile of river shoreline makes up the entire southern edge of this little gem, and almost all of the property is forested with both rich floodplain forest and drier mature uplands. Start exploring and you'll find some surprises tucked into the woods: sunny little sedge meadows, two prairie remnants along the railroad tracks, and a stone tepee ring that was built by the former owners.

Located within the state Natural Rivers Protection Zone, this land has been a wildlife area since 1980. While a popular destination for fly fishing, bird-watching and nature study, the property is valuable from a historical perspective as well. Portions of an old mill dam and race provide evidence of the sites former use and are an important reminder of the water-powered past of local area industry.

The very first event ever held at Cornman Farms was a fundraiser.  
  
So it feels only right that their very last one should be, too.  
  
On Friday, October 30, they invite you to join us for one final evening at the Farm, a special collaboration between Cornman Farms and Ann Arbor Distilling Company benefiting the Cancer Support Community of Greater Ann Arbor.  
  
For the occasion, Ann Arbor Distilling Company will unveil a limited bourbon drop crafted with a rare heirloom corn grown right here in Dexter. Throughout the evening, guests will enjoy beverages featuring AADC spirits alongside strolling appetizers prepared by the Cornman Farms culinary team.  
  
Friday, October 30, 2026   
6:00–10:00 PM  
$125 per person  
Limited tickets available; must be 21 or older  
  
Tickets are $125 per person, with proceeds benefiting the Cancer Support Community of Greater Ann Arbor. Each ticket holder will also receive 20% off one bottle of an Ann Arbor Distilling Company product of their choice.  
  
This isn't a big farewell party. They're keeping the evening intentionally intimate, with a limited number of tickets and plenty of time to gather, eat, drink, talk, and enjoy the Farm together one last time.  
  
During the evening, we'll auction an experience created especially for this occasion:  
Bottle No. 1 of AADC's new bourbon release, accompanied by the barrel in which the bourbon was aged, plus a private Ann Arbor Distilling Company tour and tasting for 10 guests.  
  
There is only one Bottle No. 1—and only one barrel that made it.  
  
For more than a decade, Cornman Farms has been a place where people have gathered to celebrate, connect, and take care of one another.  
  
They can't think of a better way to close this chapter than exactly how we began it: bringing people together for a good cause.
