About
THE PRAIRIE CHICKEN CAPITAL OF THE WORLD
Driving into Cassoday from highway K-177, a large sign declares "Cassoday - Prairie Chicken Capital of the World."
For the early settlers, prairie chicken was a regular diet item, but they were nearly wiped off the prairies before mankind began giving the chickens protection. After years of multiplying, when they were plentiful again, the Cassoday Lions Club came up with an idea that would be receptive to hunters, farmers, the community, and protect the chickens sufficiently to keep their population level up to normal.
