A beautiful mansion, historic landmark, and tourist site to the museum of the Kewpie Doll creator, Rose O'Neill, Bonniebrook Park has a full day's activities in store for every visitor. Rose O'Neill not only created the infamous Kewpie Doll, but also was a famous author, poet, and artist. Her works are now on display in the home to which she was so fond and proud, Bonniebrook. The building has been completely restored and a renewed sense of life has been instilled to provide a wonderful setting for all of her creations.
In the museum, actual molds used on the original Kewpie Dolls are on display, as well as the dolls themselves and some of O'Neill's writings and artwork. A visit to this luxurious home will also include the gardens and walking trails outside. When they are in full bloom, the lawns come to life with row upon row of budding flowers and greenery. Waterfalls trickle down the paths, summing up the heavenly scene with their gurgles. A meal at the Rose Garden restaurant will finish the day with style. Bonniebrook Park is a relaxing way to enjoy culture, history, and nature.
