Visitors can park in the meadows across from the Beech Mountain Town Hall and walk or catch a bus up to the private garden of Oz. The walk is approximately one mile, but is gentle and uphill.
Guests will take a tour of Aunt Em's and Uncle Henry's farm and meet Dororthy and friends along the Yellow Brick Road.
The tour takes anywhere from 1.5 to 2 hours and may be taken any time between 10:00am and 5:00pm

There will be a mini-museum to visit and artifacts to share. The bands will provide music, and Genesis Wildlife Sanctuary will exhibit a small petting zoo!
In "Kansas" there will be face-painting, food, treats, and special Oz Concessions!
New and old trivia will be available for purchase, with party of the money going back into upkeep and restorations in the Land of Oz.
Come out and enjoy a piece of history!
