Beauty Remains as Kanawha Garden Club Maintains Ruffner Park
The Kanawha Garden Club continues preserving Ruffner Memorial Park in Charleston built on land from Daniel Ruffner. Since 1952 the club has funded and maintained plantings, a fountain, benches, and a semicircular walkway with help from experts like Umberto Innocenti and plans by Mazie Hopple Young. The park’s Confederate monument, damaged over time, is now cared for by the club after the original chapter dissolved.
