The history of this site actually dates back far before the actual conservatory was built. Beginning in 1852, Franklin Park became the site for the first county fair, and then the official location of the Ohio State Fair in 1874 when the park was expanded to 93 acres. Various memorable moments have taken place and recorded at this site also. For example, in 1880, William Tecumseh’s famous statement “War, it is all Hell!” was delivered in a speech to a reunion of civil war veterans gathering at Franklin Park.

History Continued… In 1893, the “Franklin Park Victorian style

Conservatory” was modeled after the Glass Palace at the Columbian Exposition held in Chicago, Illinois. The conservatory was finally constructed and open to the public in 1895. A fire in Columbus city in 1921 destroyed much of the history and records kept for the Franklin Park Conservatory, and most of it’s documentation before this time was from newspapers and personal written accounts.

The 1900’s

Throughout the 1920’s animals were kept in the lower rooms of the conservatory and became part of the first Columbus Zoo. In 1974 the original conservatory or Victoria

Palm House was inducted into the National Register of Historic Places. November 14,

1986,AmeriFlora 92 was organized and incorporated and Franklin Park was named

as the host site for the horticulture exhibition.

The moist, cool air and steep rock walls reproduce the environment of the central Himalayas at an elevation between 6,000 and 9,000 feet above sea level. Hardy plants native to Tibet, China, and Nepal cling to life in crevices and rock pockets. In springtime, the boulders of this room are covered with a haze of pale rose and jasmine blossoms filling the air with delicate perfume.

Pacific Island Water Garden As you enter this climate

zone all of your senses are engaged. Bright-coloredfoliage, fish and flowers, fragrant plumeria and jasmine blossoms, cascading waterfalls, and tropical fruits are all bathed in a fine mist that you can feel on your skin. The showy, aromatic and edible plants of this environment are drawn from various habitats in the south Pacific including Hawaii and southeast Asia.

Desert Enter a harsh world of bizarre

plant shapes and towering red sandstone formations. Fierce spines, swollen stems, and silver-tinted leaves are all features which allow these plants to survive in their sun-seared native habitats. The common names of organ pipe, blue rose, candelabra, coach whip, silver torch, and elephant foot evoke the strange forms of the cacti and succulent plants growing here.

Rain Forrest…. The environment here is humid,

lush and diverse, created with plants from the lowland tropical rainforests of South America, Asia, and Africa. A turtle splashes in the hidden pool, macaw shriek, and flash brilliant plumage amid the blooms of gingers and tropical begonias. While strikingly patterned foliage plants nestle in the rare patches of sunlight on the forest floor, epiphytic orchids and cacti thrive in treetops, never touching the ground.

Bonsai Courtyard The centerpiece of

this serene, understated garden is a pond filled with blooming waterlilies and aquatic plants. In summer, the Conservatory's collection of hardy bonsai is on display, among full-sized ginkgo, pine, and flowering cherry trees.
