Merging nature, culture, and community at the confluence of the Mississippi and St. Croix rivers.
New Exhibits Are coming!
We are proud to announce that Mr. Aidan Anthony will be creating our new exhibit stands.
“ My name is Aidan Anthony, I am 17 years old and I attend Prescott High School. I am currently working on an Eagle Scout Project for Freedom Park by building various kiosks to display information about their park and its inhabitants. I am tremendously proud of this work and I have been waiting for an opportunity to show my commitment to this organization for quite some time.
An Eagle Scout Project is a final project that is needed for a Scout to become an Eagle Scout. It is a way of giving back to the community while also displaying leadership skills and commitment to the journey it takes to become an Eagle Scout. After the project is complete I will be awarded my Eagle Scout rank and I will have completed all the ranks and requirements of Boy Scouts.” Aidan belongs to troop 9133 led by Erik Kreager.

Summer will be coming soon and we are so excited to have you join us in the gardens.
