Located on the beautifully landscaped campus of Lewis and Clark
Community College in Godfrey. While you're here, take a few minutes
to wander around the campus. Take a look at the gardens, or some of
the many sculptures. You'll be glad you did.
Please stay on paved walkways where possible. From the parking
coordinates, go behind the main building complex. It's a bit
longer, but it will give you views of the gardens! Bring your own
pencil.
