Welcome to Muscatatuck National Wildlife Refuge

Muscatatuck is a place to view nature and Indiana's past. The refuge was established in 1966 by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Sevice to restore, preserve, and manage it for fish, wildlife, and people. They bought 7,724 acres near Seymour with money they earned from the sale of federal duck stamps.
