The Shaker Historical Society is hosting its 11th Annual Gracious Gardens of Shaker Heights weekend June 20-21st. The highly popular Father’s Day weekend event attracts more than 1,000 people from across the region. The Saturday evening Twilight in the Garden Party is held at a private historic home with superb architecture and gardens. On Sunday, there is a tour of beautiful neighborhood gardens – all designs and sizes – within the city of Shaker Heights.

As part of the Gracious Gardens weekend, there will be an admission-free, open-to-the-public Fair on the grounds of the museum at 16740 South Park Boulevard on Sunday, June 21st. The Fair features something for everyone - from kids to grandparents – including local vendors and crafts, lawn games, a scavenger hunt, museum mansion open house with a film showing the property when it was the private home of the Myers family ca. 1920, lemonade stand contest, and our 1917 American LaFrance fire truck.
