This is a nice, well maintained park. Volunteers are very knowledgeable and friendly. I can’t wait to go back in the warmer months when the wild flowers are in bloom and the birds are back singing.

We had my daughters graduation Open House at Gene Stratton Porter this last weekend. WOW !!!!! WHAT A GREAT EXPERIENCE. Dave and Tiffany were awesome to work with, and the venue is A++++. We rented what they call an entire site rental. Which means we had access to the banquet room above the museum, they furnished the entire kitchen, tables, linens, serving equipment...everything. We also had a piano player on the front porch of Gene's cabin, and an ice cream sundae bar outside at the garden shed. They provide staff, a trolley ....everything you could possibly want. If you ever need a VENUE for anniversaries, graduations, small weddings, class reunions, or just 50 close friends...THIS IS THE PLACE. I can not express how wonderful this place is !!!!!!!

This is such an incredibly beautiful place. The gardens are kept very well and spring/early summer is a great time to check it out. No cost for admission to the gardens or short trails, but it does cost to tour the inside of the house.

Don't forget...she also had a house in Geneva, IN. That's a very nice place to visit also.
