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.
We welcome volunteers who
are willing to help with the
maintenance and
development of Elizabeth's
Garden!

renting the garden for your
special wedding, party or
