GARDEN OF MEDITATION

A two-acre park set aside by the Fair provides a place for rest, relaxation and reflection amid the bustle and excitement of the other attractions. The Garden of Meditation is screened by pine, birch and oak trees; mountain laurel, azaleas, lilies, irises and other plants line its paths. There are benches on an oval walk near an informal pool; plaques carry references to appropriate Biblical verses and a quotation on the wonder of nature from Sir Francis Bacon.

Here's an additional quote from the 1965 version of the guide book: Directly across from the park is the Lithuanian Wayside Shrine, where a carved wooden cross memorializes those who have given their lives in defense of Lithuanian freedom. (CD25 Set 137 #1)
