Garden of Eden marks 100th year in Kansas
Garden of Eden Inc. in Lawrence marks a century of preserving Samuel Perry Dinsmoor’s artistic estate. The 1990 purchase by 17 members followed Dinsmoor’s 19th century vision, including the limestone Il-room home, 150 sculptures, and a mausoleum. Tour guides note the gardener’s clever designs and hidden meanings across life sized figures, glass coffins, and self-contained works.
