Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Forestiere Underground Gardens was built by Baldasare Forestiere over a period of 40 years. The Sicilian immigrant started dedicating his time to the 10-acre man-made creation in 1906 and continued until his death in 1946.

Visitors are invited to explore the spectacular features, which include a winter bedroom, a summer bedroom, a kitchen, a parlor with a fireplace, and a fishpond. Lovers of architecture will be enthralled with the archways and beautiful stone walls. Visitors will enjoy browsing the innumerable number of plants, some of which are over 90 years old.
