Grand Opening of the Itasca Rock Garden
…
Freeborn County Historical Museum: In 1925, John L. Christensen set out to construct a small vegetable cellar. While digging he and his wife began to notice the beauty in the multi-colored stones. Using his team of horses, the excavation grew to what is now Itasca Rock Garden.
…
The Kohler Foundation completed a $500,000 restoration in 2022. Gardeners were busy planting in 2023. Today is the first day in more than 25 years that the rock garden is open to the public. If you are unable to attend the grand opening, contact the museum to schedule your tour.
