History of Lafayette Park Free Presentation

The Good Earth Garden Club of Eureka is sponsoring a presentation by the Lafayette Park Conservancy entitled "The Fascinating History Of Lafayette Park."

The program relates how 30 acres of the old St. Louis Common became a Victorian strolling park, praised as one of the most effective pieces of landscape architecture in the United States; shows its destruction by the Great Cyclone of 1896; and ends with a look at Lafayette Park as it is today. The park has many award winning gardens and historic monuments.

This lecture is open to the general public.
