The Hulda Klager Lilac Gardens is a restoration project to honor the work of famed lilac developer Hulda Klager. It contains an 1800s house and surrounding buildings and Gardens. It is a National Historic Site. In 2023 the museum/barn opened with many new exhibits. Annually, Lilac Days celebrates the site, Hulda’s work and raises funds to maintain the site. See Today in the Gardens for current status and updates. Event rentals are available, as approved, by contacting us.
