Anderson Japanese Gardens and Tinker Swiss Cottage
ID :
16137
« back to classes page
Enjoy a spring day in Rockford, Illinois. Start the day with a docent-led tour of the beautiful Anderson Japanese Gardens. Construction of the gardens began in 1978, when Rockford businessman John Anderson was inspired by a visit to the Portland Japanese Garden in Oregon, and it has been evolving ever since. Next stop is the historic Prairie Street Brewing Company for lunch. The brewpub is housed in the oldest brewery in the state of Illinois, a beautiful National Historic Landmark building. Older breweries existed but they all burned to the ground in the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. Finish your visit with a tour of the unique Tinker Swiss Cottage. Robert Tinker’s inspiration for the cottage came during his 1862 tour of Europe, where he fell in love with the architecture of Switzerland. In 1865, Robert began building his Swiss cottage on the limestone bluff overlooking Kent Creek.
