Meet some of the Graeser Park’s supporters.

If you support saving this historic park, you’re one of the Graeser Park Beehivers.

It will take a village to restore Lilac Way’s historic 1940 Graeser Park in Robbinsdale, MN.

It features one of only two beehive fireplaces left in the U.S., and the only one in its original location. This national treasure deserves MnDOT’s recent preservation project.

Who are the Graeser Park Beehivers?

Minnesota has a lot of Graeser Park Beehivers.

The group of passionate and enthusiastic volunteers below has one goal—to raise community awareness and funding to preserve Graeser Park.

Do you want to be a Graeser Park Beehiver?

Help us raise awareness.

These groups support preservation and restoration of Graeser Park.

After MnDOT releases the easement to the City of Robbinsdale, Graeser Park will be owned by the City of Robbinsdale.

We support a community effort to save this park, so it can once again be a vital part of Robbinsdale.
