The preserve is rich in natural and cultural history, showcasing diverse ecosystems including oak-maple forests, floodplain forests, and restored prairie areas.
Originally a spiritual retreat center managed by the Sisters of Mercy, the site was bequeathed to the Forest Preserve District in 1992 and named in honor of Kateri Tekakwitha, a 17th-century Mohawk Indian.
