Gardner Heritage State Park was a history-focused state park located in the city of Gardner, Massachusetts. The facility, which occupied a former firehouse, offered exhibits on Gardner's industrial past as a center of furniture manufacturing.[2] Opened in winter 1985,[3] it was closed in 2002.[4] Following its permanent closure, the Gardner Museum took possession of the center's artifacts and historic holdings.[5]
