Newburgh Dam Garden

APRIL 2024 UPDATE: On an early, cool March morning the Newburgh Old Dam Garden dedicated work crew met. They removed the previous season’s deadwood along with the early riverfront weeds. Repairs were made and the martin birdhouse was reinstalled in preparation for the new season residents. Those walking, biking, skating, and boating along the riverfront will again be able to enjoy this beautiful garden.

This beautiful garden is located on the banks of the scenic Ohio River, just east of The Landing restaurant in Newburgh.  A walking trail takes visitors past an artful display of perennial flowers, shrubs, ornamental grasses, and bulbs, as well as a variety of annual flowers.  The purple martin house occupied by its insect-eating residents and butterflies attracted by the colorful blooms make for quite a show against the backdrop of the river.
