Once the family home of Mabel and Leslie Cheek, this extraordinary 1930s estate, with its Georgian mansion and 55 acres of cultivated gardens and expansive vistas, today serves the public as a botanic garden, woodland sculpture trail, and art museum.
Visitors enjoy family activities, programming for all ages and year-round festivals celebrating the four seasons. From 150,000 blooming bulbs in the spring to one million holiday lights in the winter, there’s always something to see at Cheekwood. Enjoy a visual stroll or a meandering walk through 12 distinct gardens. Visit the Cheek Mansion, now the Museum of Art, for a look at the lifestyle of the American Country Place Era, and walk through family rooms converted to galleries where artworks from Cheekwood's permanent collection or a traveling exhibition are on display.
