Steeped with over a century of history and natural beauty, there is no better place to renew your vows or say “I Do” and begin the next chapter of forever, than Parkwood National Historic Site.  Surrounded by lush gardens and architectural landscaping there are several picturesque spaces on the grounds and inside the mansion for you to choose from.  You may choose to exchange your vows in the beautiful Sunken Garden or in the stunning Formal Garden in front of the fountains.
