Tree planting at Graeser Roadside Park couldn’t have gone better! #historicwayside #lilacway #GraeserPark

You can watch lots of cool videos on our YouTube channel. Here is one of our favorites—EAI Historic Restoration cleaning 81 years of grime off the historic 1940 beehive fireplace, getting ready for restoration. Powerwashing is so satisfying. 🙂 #lilacway #mpls #graeserpark

Graeser Park's restored beehive fireplace was graffiti'd. Will be hard to remove paint from 1940s mortar/stone. Was part of a $500k, 3-year restoration paid for by MN taxpayers. One of two beehive fireplaces left, and only one restored to Nat'l Historic Standards. #graeserpark #lilacway #mpls #mn

I like to think that Lilac Way's 1930s WPA-built limestone picnic tables inspired Fred Flintstone cartoons in the 1960s. In 2023, MnDOT rebuilt 11 tables from stone salvaged from lost Lilac Way parks as part of a major Graeser Park restoration project. #lilacway #mpls #flintstones #MN #graeserpark
