Lincoln Memorial Gardens

No matter the season, the trails are filled with people walking to enjoy nature or running to get exercise. You can see deer running through the woods, bussing and chirping  from the insects, and rustling leaves from the wind. It's all beautiful and peaceful to connect yourself to.

Throughout the year, the garden hosts several family activities to bring people together. Everyone helps and enjoys their time together. Festivals are a big thing. The Fall Harvest Festival is a major one.  Kids can create trolls to put near the trees, create their own fairy garden, decorate pumpkins, build a scarecrow, and more!

Presidential gardens aren’t just a tribute to their namesake; they are educational too. You can learn more about the garden and its history at the Nature Center. Here, you'll learn the history here and the growth of the garden. Inside the Nature Center is a gift shop. You can buy gifts and collectables to remember your visit.

Once you visit, you will understand why it’s so important to keep this garden well-maintained. There are several volunteer opportunities. You can host, help special events, assist with school children who come on a field trip, and more!

Find the Lincoln Memorial Garden at 2301 East Lake Shore Drive Springfield, Illinois. You won’t regret the trip! 

P.S. Look for the two trolls hanging out in the park for a great photo opportunity!
