A six-acre garden and remnant of the 1824 Lafayette Land Grant, Dorothy B. Oven Park is nestled in the heart of Tallahassee's historic district. Gifted to the city by Will J. Oven, Jr. in 1985, the park was designed to maintain the area's natural landscape and historic feel. The manor-style home at the park's center is an architectural gem accented with rare magnolia paneling and antique furnishings. It is available for weddings, meetings, and special occasions. Camellias, azaleas, and palms fill the park and offer a green retreat right in the middle of the city.
