The 55-acre grounds include themed gardens, museums, and educational facilities dedicated to natural sciences, history, and agricultural exploration.
Karen and Alan Ashton established Thanksgiving Point in 1996 on farmland purchased to create a community garden and educational center.
The facility hosts seasonal celebrations, including a spring tulip festival and winter light displays that bring together local communities.
