Formerly the family home of Mabel and Leslie Cheek, the 1930s estate, with its 30,000-square-foot mansion and 55 acres of gardens, today serves the public as a botanical garden, arboretum and art museum with furnished period rooms and galleries devoted to American art from the 18th to mid-20th centuries, 13 distinct gardens and a 1.5-mile woodland trail. Year-round events include seasonal festivals, internationally recognized exhibitions, wellness classes, educational workshops and other happenings geared toward visitors of all ages. Cheekwood is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is accredited by the American Alliance of Museums and nationally as a Level II Arboretum. Additionally, Cheekwood partners with 70 local organizations to ensure its education, preservation and conservation initiatives reach every corner of the community to maximize the institution’s positive impact on the region, as well as to give all individuals the opportunity to enjoy, learn, grow and celebrate its natural beauty and cultural offerings.
