70 years ago, John M. Olin, the son of Franklin Olin, who established the Equitable Powder Company, which would later bear the family name, OLIN, took acres of farmland joined by timber and turned it into a wildlife oasis.
He created an ideal place to raise and train the best Labradors that ever flushed a pheasant or retrieved a duck. He called it NILO, which consists of more than 600 acres dedicated to unsurpassed hunting, sport shooting and gun dogs.
NILO was also Olin’s model of conservation. It was one of his most cherished crusades … educating sportsmen and state game management agencies across the country on wildlife preserves and the planning and planting of habitat that benefitted all types of wildlife.
Over the years, stars, celebrities, avid outdoorsmen and legendary writers enjoyed Mr. Olin’s hospitality at NILO and it is still considered today, one of the most prestigious hunting and shooting preserves in the nation.
