A sculpture garden created by Nick and Katherine Englebert from 1937 through the 1950s.
Overview Looking East
The path runs from the parking area to the entrance to the sculpture garden. At one time, there was a long fence that lined the path, but most of it has long since disappeared.

Over a period of 20 years, Nick built an elaborate porch on his home made of concrete and various materials, covered the house with concrete, and built 40 sculptures in the yard. Katherine built elaborate gardens to support the sculptures.
The site was restored by the Kohler Foundation, a friend to the arts, then gifted to Pecatonica Educational Charitable Foundation in 1997. The PEC Foundation today maintains and operates this unique sculpture garden.
