Visitor Information
The Wakarusa Chamber is encouraging everyone to “enjoy” this summer. You don’t have to travel to some far-off-place to escape, just drive to Wakarusa. We have everything you need! Start by sitting-a-spell at the beautiful Quilt Garden. New seating areas have been provided. Enjoy the beauty of the Quit Garden& Mural, flower pots, shade trees and cool breeze. Enjoy the far-off laughter of the children playing at the downtown park and the birds singing in the trees. Once refreshed, take the “Waky Walk”. Enjoy the new rack-card that will guide you through downtown Wakarusa. Enjoy the old fashioned streetlights, brick pavers, American flags and streetscapes with every step you take. Enjoy meeting our friendly store owners and finding “more than you thought you would”. After you’ve enjoyed Downtown Wakarusa, drive or walk to the “Butterfly Garden” at Memorial Park behind Wakarusa Elementary School. This well marked perennial garden is a comfortable place to enjoy and commune with nature. You can also enjoy a walk along the pedestrian path, a swing in the gazebo, and the mist of the splash park. Enjoy the surrounding fields and the construction of our new War Memorial Garden: both worth coming back to enjoy their progress! Next, take yourself to Richmond’s Feed Service and Grandma’s Pantry to enjoy two of Waky’s hidden treasures of unique gifts and Amish bulk foods! And finally, enjoy being thankful! For the beauty of nature, laughter of children, friendly smiles, creative minds, a small community and our freedom to ENJOY! The "Waky Walk"
