The Bess Streeter Aldrich Gardens have been beautifully preserved and updated and compliment the 1922 Prairie Mansion home of Nebraska Hall of Fame author Bess Streeter Aldrich. Twelve garden spaces named after Mrs. Aldrich's books, 20 trees identified by species, a beautiful 30' wedding pergola, and privacy fencing create an intimate space for garden events including weddings, the renewal of vows, and other family gatherings. A partnership with the Christian Church provides off-street parking, a bridal preparation room, and a backup venue in case of inclement weather.
