The mansion on the park grounds was constructed in 1929 by Southwestern Bell Telephone Company founder, Eugene Nims. Situated on the banks of the Mississippi River this mansion was simply a weekend retreat for Mr. Nims, who was an avid gardener. Nims actually started the gardens that still surround the property.
