Sonnenberg Gardens & Mansion State Historic Park
A Garden of Many Influences
Discover
Sonnenberg preserves a Victorian estate near Canandaigua Lake, with a Queen Anne-style mansion and gardens shaped by Mary Clark Thompson. Her travels informed a landscape drawing on several garden traditions. The estate offers a way to compare planted spaces as designs: their boundaries, paths, proportions, and relationship to the house matter as much as individual flowers.
Before you go
Check the seasonal visitor calendar; flowering and garden appearance vary through the year.
Social
A garden can hold traces of journeys. At Sonnenberg, Mary Clark Thompson brought different landscape influences into the grounds around a Victorian mansion. Look beyond the blooms to the paths and spaces that give each garden its character.
