What a wonderful program at Wilder Mansion! Bill Kragas, of Pioneer Feed fame, brought 100 years of gardening history to life in such a fascinating and entertaining way. What a special setting and a fabulous presentation—so much history, knowledge, and fun all in one afternoon. 💚

Happy Homecoming to York Community High School! We know how important those photo ops are on homecoming. While Wilder Mansion, the Conservatory, and the formal gardens are always a popular spot in town, they’ll be unavailable this Saturday, September 26 because of a previously scheduled wedding.

We encourage groups to plan ahead and explore other beautiful locations, such as Eldridge Park, for your photos. Visit our website at https://www.epd.org/parks for a list of other potential locations.

Not familiar with bike racing? That's OK! Don't let that stop you from seeing the exciting action on June 6th. We LOVE the energy that our spectators bring to the course on race day. Great attractions along the course include the kid-favorite Elmhurst Park District Wilder Park, the Phase Three Brewing Company B**r Garden at Wilder Mansion, along with food favorites like Roughedges Confectionery and Cookery, Primos Locos, and Stout's Sausage & BBQ and more!
