Adams Park - Wheaton, Illinois - Municipal Parks and Plazas on Waymarking.com

The park dates to 1942 when the property was willed to the City of Wheaton. The block had previously been occupied by the home of the Adams family from 1976-1942. Upon her death Katharine Adams Wells had directed in her will that the house be demolished and she had provided funds to convert the property into a landscaped park. The centerpiece of the park is a fountain dating to 1885, originally it was in the front of the Adams house. The park is a beautiful quiet park, and a popular setting for weddings.
