Cheekwood Estate & Gardens
STOP 4
Cheekwood is a 55-acre botanical garden
and art museum located on the historic
Cheek estate. Originally built as the
home of Leslie and Mabel Cheek in 1929,
Cheekwood is one of the finest examples
of an American Country Place Era estate.
Since being converted into a museum
of art and botanical garden in 1960,
Cheekwood has presented world-class art
exhibitions, spectacular gardens and an
historic estate unlike anything else.
Each year, Cheekwood welcomes
over 225,000 visitors, making it one of
the city’s top cultural attractions, with
approximately 14,000 member households. Visitors enjoy family activities, programming for all ages and
year-round festivals celebrating the four seasons. From 150,000 blooming bulbs in the spring to one million
holiday lights in the winter, there’s always something to see at Cheekwood.
Our visit to Cheekwood will begin with lunch and open mic. Throughout the afternoon, you can tour the
garden at your leisure or tour the Cheekwood Mansion, plus we will have several breakout sessions you can
participate in – your choice. See details on the following page.
IT’S TIME to discover and learn at Cheekwood!
