Canons were proudly placed on the 
lawn and cadets from the old Gordon Academy once lined up for their formal 
portraits in front of the Carnegie Library.  The years  passed, the 
library was sold and the concrete canon bases stood empty.  Then came artist and 
poet, Cara who had a vision for the library from the moment she laid eyes on the 
property.  
 
Cara restored the 1910 library as her studio and home and then proceeded to 
create a sculpture garden on the barren property.  She hauled in five more 
concrete bases  for sculptures  which are now hidden amongst the lush 
foliage. Over the years  Cara added trees, flowerbeds, garden rooms, a 
pond, rock garden, patio, fire pit, a gazebo and  an herb garden. Cara now 
has a beautiful garden retreat in the heart of downtown Barnesville.  She 
constantly enhances the garden and subtly incorporates designs and symbols from 
her studies of world cultures and archaeology. 
Care gives unique cultural art performances and art 
exhibits in the garden and in her studio. Groups often combine these events  
with tours of the garden and historical tours of the beautiful old library. See 
Tours or Recent Work and Performances on the index page.
