Cann Memorial Garden is a 10 acre estate located in the heart of

daughter of L. A. and Mary Cann in August 1975, in memory of her
parents.Lester Cann was an early pillar of the community serving over
25 years as a commissioner and City Manager. The estate was donated with

varieties of annuals and perennials planted in unique color displays.
There are over 70 species of trees that have been planted since 1980 and
