A veteran to Eden Gardens, Kara Wheeler has had the pleasure of telling the rich history of the park to thousands of visitors for over 12 years.

 Kara’s knowledge of Eden Gardens and the Wesley Family is unmatched. All visitors who are fortunate enough to take a tour of the Wesley house leave the park feeling as if they are truly connected to it. Kara’s role here at the park is extremely important in telling the story of Eden Gardens and we look forward to the continuation of that for many years to come. Please come pay us a visit and let Kara be your guide to the stories and lives of Eden Gardens past.
