The gardens were very lovely and lots of information posted throughout. Indoor area closed due to covid but the outdoors area was worth visiting.

This public garden is a hidden gem of Omaha. Its a beautiful place for a small wedding or to just spend time outside in a quiet area. It happen to have the bonus of being the birth site of the 38th president of the United States of America. Theres also a small museum with pieces of Fords history for those who like to learn about the past.

Gerald R. Fords birth site is a great place to go, there is information about him, and just knowing that Ive been at a place where a American president has been and born was just awesome.

We live a few houses down from this garden and didn’t walk through it until yesterday. It has been completely neglected, maybe due to the pandemic. However, it really bothered all of us that the latest President has not been added to the monument and neither has the governor. We can understand why the garden may be neglected but not the monuments.

Beautiful garden, especially for the size. Their is also a cool memorial that will talk to you and a wall with the presidents names and birth states. Plus you can see the resting place of a time capsule that will open in 40 years. Worth a visit.

Quite modest. House torn down in 1971. Model home with narrative by GF and BF on issues of interest - Inauguration speech, importance of team sports, Bettys breast cancer. Nice little garden. Center only open by appointment. Free.

Nice place to visit and be able to read and listen to quick history about President Ford and the family. The grounds are nice and would be more enjoyable if additional cleanup and maintenance performed in the gardens, pathways and etc. (Due to all the leaves, tree limbs and cleanup of weeds in gardens.)

Very nicely done, low key, just like President Ford. Gardens are well kept, and there is a display in the middle showing various steps in the Presidents life. Worth the visit

It is a lovely place to visit, especially in summer. The damage to the gate and fence from an accident that happened in September, 2014 still has not been repaired as of January, 2020.

The house is now gone, but you can see where it was. There is a small pavilion with recordings that will play and describe President Ford and his life. It’s a quick stop, not a nice one.

Very quite and peaceful. They have all the presidents up to Obama on plaques. Along with the majors of Omaha and Nebraska Senators. Not all the way up to date on those. But still good knowledge. When I was there I saw a hummingbird right in front of the flag pole!

Why is this in Omaha? Ford lived in Nebraska for 16 days before his dad tried to murder the family. That’s it. I’ve taken longer vacations than that. Anything honoring Ford should be in Michigan, where he was raised. The dude didn’t even know he was from Omaha until he was like 20 years old. Realistically, Ford is a Michigan President.

Looked neat, but was closed. We saw some historical displays in the garden, though.

Ford was an uninteresting president and his birthplace is uninteresting too.Think of it as a nice little park to sit down and rest in or have a picnic in and you will not be disappointed.

Ma
Review №52

If you are on a walk in the area it is a nice detour at the north end of the park. But it certainly is not something to go out of your way for. Not unless you are some sort of Ford historian junkie.

Review №57

Great for Pokémon stops. But surprised the sound booth didnt mention how Gerald Fords Omahan father attempted to stab baby Jerry at 16 days old. Forcing the mother and newborn to flee to her family in Michigan and remarry to a man named Ford. This is history.

Lovely little historical gem in the heart of Omaha! (Also a tip for all you Pokemon Hunters; there are two Pokestops here, as well as several right across the street at Hanscom Park!)Take some time to learn about our nations 38th President while enjoying one of Omahas beautiful historic neighborhoods.
