Located immediately south, this fashionable place of entertainment was established by Messrs. Decker & Dryer in 1827 and operated for more than a decade. It covered several acres & included a ballroom, dining hall and miniature railroad. Pres. Jackson was honored here on several occasions. John Bell made his famous “Vauxhall Garden Speech” here May 23, 1835.
