Eden Gardens State Park

The focal point of Eden Gardens State Park is the beautifully renovated, two-story house with elegant white columns and wrap around porch. In a setting of moss-draped live oaks, the 1897 mansion recalls a prosperous era before the virgin forests of longleaf pine and cypress were exhausted in this part of the state. In 1963, Lois Maxon bought and renovated the home, creating a showplace for her family heirlooms and antiques. Visitors can come and enjoy a guided tour of the Wesley House, meander through the gardens, bring a picnic or go fishing off the dock in Tucker Bayou.

Eden Gardens State Park contains approximately 163 acres of land that was part of the historic Wesley homestead. It is currently used for special events like weddings and private parties, photo sessions, and family gatherings.
