Elizabeth's Garden & the Carriage House
Located to the rear of the Museum is Elizabeth's Garden and the Carriage House.
Used for most Foundation programs, for community events these spaces are available
for special events. A handicapped toilet and adequate parking on Manheim Square
make Elizabeth's Garden and the Carriage House a convenient and beautiful setting
for your special event. The garden includes a variety of 18th century plantings and a
lovely collection of roses, a favorite of the Foundation's founder, Elizabeth Keiffer. A
bronze plaque with a poem written by Mabel Reist Koch dedicating the rose to Henry
William Stiegel was recently place in the garden.

The maintenance of Elizabeth's Garden:
If you click on any of the words in bold print, you will see what we are faced
with in the maintenance of what is most times a beautiful garden in the
colonial town of Manheim. If anyone from the Manheim area would like to
volunteer their service in trying to keep the garden clean and helping with the
general maintenance and improvement of the garden, please contact HMPF.
We are faced with invasive bamboo and ivy, a deluge of pine needles and
spiked gum tree balls and a few other maintenance problems. The
invasive bamboo has made it necessary to dig a ditch 19 feet long at the
fence to try to prevent the bamboo runners from again uprooting areas of our
patio and from also spreading into other areas of the garden. If we were not
faced with the debris that is deposited onto the garden, keeping the garden
looking beautiful would be simple.
