The Dickey-Birdsong Plantation is a 565-acre (229 ha) historic district that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995. It includes four contributing buildings, five contributing structures, and a contributing site.^[1] It is a wildlife preserve.

It has a 1912 dwelling, the "Dickey-Komarek House", which includes Classical Revival architectural details, and is a frame one-and-a-half-story building built in 1912 by expanding upon a mid-1800s dogtrot house. It has an 1858 barn and outbuildings built in the 1900s.^[2]

The property was purchased from the Dickey family in 1938. It became a site of ecological research and fire experimentation.^[3]

The property is now the Birdsong Nature Center and is located on what is now known as Birdsong Rd.^[4] Birdsong Nature Center was created as a 501c3 corporation in 1986. Its mission is "to foster awareness, understanding, and appreciation of nature and its interrelationships."^[3]
