Tudor Cottage & Terrace

Built in the 1920s and restored in 2021, the Tudor Cottage is a whimsical, light-filled space that retains the historical elements that make it the most recognizable landmark of Pease Park. Just north of Tudor Cottage is a terrace consisting of limestone banquet seating, large shade trees, and festoon lighting. Together, these spaces create the ideal setting for an indoor/outdoor event, reception, or gathering.
