This public garden is a hidden gem of Omaha. It's a beautiful place for a small wedding or to just spend time outside in a quiet area. It happen to have the bonus of being the birth site of the 38th president of the United States of America. There's also a small museum with pieces of Ford's history for those who like to learn about the past.
As someone who loves history and politics, I was really excited to visit the birthplace of President Gerald Ford! Unfortunately it's underwhelming. I was disappointed that the display cases were covered in large amounts of spider webs and don't appear to be maintained. I am glad I stopped and would like to go back when the rose gardens are in full bloom.
Nice and spacious, family oriented clean and well kept place of memories to be made, knowledge to be acquired, beauty to be Surrounded by. It doesn’t get much more Midwest than this place here with lots of historical background. Recommended to landmark hobbyist. Family get Togethers, park hoppers and more. 5 stars !
There are some nice exhibits and gardens here; however, more maintenance is needed for much of the grounds. We liked the monument stones which detail past U.S. Presidents, Nebraska governors, etc.; nevertheless, they need to be updated for recent elections.
The house is gone but there is a replica of what it looked like on display. Several monuments and the first lady's garden. There is a buried time capsule within the sidewalk that says will be opened in 2076
