In 1986, Esther Detering bequeathed her family's 54-acre lakeshore property near Kendallville, Indiana, to a land trust, transforming the old farm into the Detering Nature Preserve. Located on the south shore of Round Lake in Noble County, the preserve serves as a green space amid a busy commercial district. The land, originally purchased by Esther's grandfather August Detering in 1869, has evolved from a family farm to a sustainable natural habitat under the trust's permanent care.
