A two-acre park set aside by the Fair provides a quite spot for relaxation.

The garden is boardered by pine, birch and oak trees; shrubs and flowers line its paths. Benches are set beside a pool. Directly across from the park is the Lithuanian Wayside Shrine, where a carved wooden cross memorializes those who have given their lives in defense of Lithuanian freedom.

The description of this exhibit from the 1965 Official Guide Book


This family relaxes amid the restful surroundings of the Garden of Meditation. Fair set aside two acres and transformed it into a quiet refuge from the usual hurly burly.
