The Heritage Museum Park consists of the Ethnic Heritage Museum (a cultural center) and the Graham-Ginestra House (a historic home), with several garden areas throughout the corridor.
GARDENERS NEEDED! Whether you have a "green thumb" or are just a plant enthusiast, we would love your help! From weeding existing flowerbeds to conceptualizing and planting new garden areas, there are many things to do. Our gardens committee typically works on Tuesdays from 9 AM - 11 AM.
We even provide snacks and sneak-peak looks at the museums to our amazing volunteers! We hope you will join us.
