Dinsmoor built this visionary art environment, a stone log cabin surrounded by three-story concrete sculptures. His political views take the form of dimensional tableus, a sort of 3D political cartoon, reflecting his Populist Party leanings and Masonic background. Built from 1905 through the 1930s, this National Register of Historic Places site is nationally recognized example of vernacular art and architecture.

April 1 is the Kansas launch date for a new mobile guide to the Garden of Eden, 305 E. Second. Lindsborg artist Mike Hartung has voiced Garden of Eden creator S.P. Dinsmoor for the guide’s audio. The Bloomberg Connects cell phone app features sculpture narratives and the history of the Garden of Eden. A QR code will take you to Hartung’s rendition of Dinsmoor explaining each sculpture.

To celebrate, admission to the Garden of Eden will be free to all visitors for April Fools-a-Palooza only. The Garden of Eden is the fourth Kansas addition to the worldwide Bloomberg Connects app, and one of only a few artist-created environments represented thus far. Visitors are encouraged to use the digital guide both before they visit and while they are on site in Lucas. Download Bloomberg Connects free from any app store, or click the link in the comments to explore!
