Tree Museum
What is the Living Heritage Tree Museum? It is a Storm Lake City Park dedicated to planting documented seedlings and cuttings of trees associated with famous people or events.
The seedlings were obtained through the generosity of Mr. Stan Lemaster and Mr. Theodore Klein of Louisville, Kentucky. Their unusual hobby of documenting and reproducing famous trees has made this unique facility possible.
Through the efforts of the Storm Lake Community Betterment Council a fund drive was conducted to construct an outdoor classroom, 1,100 feet of winding sidewalks, mood night lights, signing, and landscaping. A bequest from the Bennet and Marie Marshall estate was of major importance. True to the Storm Lake spirit that is always present here, much of the project was done with volunteer labor in 1988.
The outdoor classroom is available to school, church or club groups at no charge and it is first come first served. Seating capacity for the outdoor classroom is 15-20. It is in the same vicinity of the Sunset Park Band Shell which offers additional opportunities for groups.
We invite you to visit this "one of a kind" facility, which is open to the public, at no charge, 24 hours a day.
