Graeser Park is now looking much like it did back in 1941.
Thank you, MnDOT, for completing the amazing three-year historic preservation project: rebuilding eleven picnic tables from salvaged stone, securing walls and benches in the rock garden, and putting the beloved beehive back together. We’re celebrating!
Thank you to everyone who came to enjoy the celebration, to the volunteer helpers, and especially to the all-volunteer Robbinsdale City Band!
Where:Â Graeser Park, West Broadway & Lakeland Avenue North, Robbinsdale, Minnesota
When:  Thursday, July 6, 2023 • 6:30 to 8:00 pm
What: Â Â Kids activities, T-shirt sales, gardening info/volunteer signup, and concert at
7:00 by the ROBBINSDALE CITY BAND. All FREE.
Why celebrate? Graeser Park is the largest, most elaborate, and now the most intact of the seven “Lilac Way” parks built along Highway 100 between 1935 and 1941. Its beehive fireplace is one of only two that exist—the only one still in its original location. The enchanting rock garden is unique among Minnesota’s 100+ historic roadside properties. It’s a beautiful place to enjoy, treasure, and connect with the past!
Note: Bring a chair or blanket for the concert, and your own water bottle. No facilities on site. 
Event sponsored by the Robbinsdale Lions and the Robbinsdale Historical Society in support of Graeser Park Restoration & Preservation
