Happy National Squirrel Appreciation Day! Did you know that there are 280 different species of squirrels in the world? In Iowa you are most likely to see fox squirrels or eastern gray squirrels. We have lots of these bushy-tailed critters living on the grounds. Next time you visit, see how many you can spot!

You can count squirrels during a free visit to the grounds anytime the gates are open. Visit brucemore.org to find upcoming grounds hours.

Thanks to Jill Gustin for sharing this beautiful photo of Brucemore at sunset!
