Enjoy 200+ varieties of lilacs from around the globe, find vintage cars and wagons in the Carriage House and Tack Room, enjoy a picnic on the scenic grounds, and try out the Whispering Bench in Monument Square.
A park entry permit is not required. Mansion admission: $7 adults, $4 youth (ages 3-12), ages 2 and under free. Handicap accessible.
