Cranberry Prairie

Cranberry Prairie

The Cranberry Prairie is an area located near St. Henry, Ohio in Mercer County, Ohio, where cranberries once grew naturally in a swamp. Peat accumulated for centuries due to an ice age lake at the base of St. John's Moraine, and created the swamp. The area was later drained, and by the 1860s, the area was being turned into farmland by German immigrants. Cranberry Prairie is also the name of a small, unincorporated village located there.
