Meet Wister Henry

Decorative element

Wister Gardens boasts a rich history and is a sight to behold. What started as simple farm land has been converted into a breathtaking garden, complete with a fountain imported from Italy, a wrought iron gazebo, and countless unique statues. The award-winning gardens are a tribute to the unwavering commitment and hard work of Wister Henry and his wife, Frances, who dedicated themselves to crafting this stunning oasis.

The Gazebo

A six-sided wrought iron gazebo sits toward the northwest corner of the property. A copper weathervane depicting an eagle stands perched on the crest, now oxidized from decades of upheld duty.

The Fountain

Placed directly above an artesian well rests one of the most striking features of the property. Imported from Italy, a large fountain perfectly dresses the northern side of the yard and makes an excellent centerpiece for weddings and other special events.

Frances Lake

A four acre pond outlines the northeastern perimeter of the property. Dedicating to his wife, Mr. Henry named the pond "Frances Lake" and purchased swans and other birds to showcase the gorgeous body of water. Today, a variety of ducks call Frances Lake their home.
