Rose Gardens

The Van Buren County Conservation would like to thank the Rose Garden Committee members throughout the many years of dedication of time and labor that they have put in to making the Rose Garden a favorite for visitors within the historic walls of the old grist mill.  A big thank you to Judy Yeager for the many volunteer years they put into heading up the garden committee 

The Gardens can be rented for weddings.  Please contact the Conservation for information/reservations at 319-592-3589.
Bentonsport Park/Village
Bentonsport Riverside park runs along the Des Moines River and Bentonsport Historic District.  The Conservation in the late 1960's invested in a few of the historic buildings.  Through time, these buildings were restored and now have different people renting the buildings for antique, art and craft shops along with other private businesses.
