Winchester Park

The picnic grounds the Browns made of Sarah Winchester’s old gardens in 1923; they closed in the 1960s when the Century theaters were built.

When the house opened for tours in 1923, Sarah Winchester’s old gardens became “Winchester Park”, where families could picnic. In the 1960s the park closed and the Century theaters were built on the land; a 1960s postcard shows the vacant lot labeled Winchester Mystery House where the domes later stood.
