The Early Years
 During
the early years, the property included two greenhouses and an "insectorium"
where Dr. Fenyes pursued his entomological studies. The renowned American
artist Richard E. Miller captured the resplendent beauty of the garden
in his 1917 painting "Dappled Light" -- a view from Eva
Fenyes' garden studio.
The Garden Today
Today's visitors are charmed by the lushly landscaped
grounds. A shady oasis of towering trees and abundant ferns harbors
the quaint Finnish Folk Art Museum, just steps away from the History
Center's Exhibit Halls and Library facilities. Hundreds of exotic
crinum lilies and amaryllis belladonna bloom throughout the spring
and summer months beside a meandering stream that cuts across the
property. Wide swaths of lawn, with the magnificent Fenyes Mansion
as their backdrop, are perfect for strolling and partying year 'round.
Visitors are welcome to tour the grounds during
Museum hours; the gardens are also available for use
by private parties.
