The 18th Century Garden showcases plants that were frequently grown in Philadelphia during the 1700s. Defined by its lovely gazebo and geometric patterns, the 18th Century Garden recalls the formal landscape designs that were en vogue during colonial times.  Lady Bird Johnson, wife of President Lyndon B. Johnson, dedicated the 18th Century Garden to the Founding Fathers in 1966.
 

The 18th Century Garden is open daily from 9 a.m. to dusk, except on all major federal holidays. It is an outdoor area, but there are locking gates at the entrance. The main garden path is wheelchair accessible.
