I visited today and enjoyed a midsummer morning with just a few other families -- and maybe a few…read moretoo many Yankee fans (kidding). Plenty of free parking, with plates from Pennsylvania, Michigan, New York, Ohio, and even Massachusetts. The most striking thing was the quiet. My ears didn't know what to do with it. A cool breeze moves through that part of the land, and long rows of old trees make the whole place feel like fresh air is a forgotten luxury. A recent reviewer mentioned the tiny weeds between some of the memorial bricks, but I didn't mind them at all. Summer in this part of Ohio is short, and seeing a few flowers pushing up through the bricks felt like a reminder of how lucky I am to be here to notice them. Ohioans have strong opinions about Canada geese, but they're protected under the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act. I stepped carefully along the left path to the statue -- those birds keep you alert -- but slowing down meant I noticed the memorial tags on the Rosary lights around the pond. As we stood in front of the statue, a dozen geese lifted off the lawn and landed on the water with perfect precision. Very picturesque. We took the north path back and weren't bothered at all. There are smaller statues along the way, each one nudging you to slow down a bit more. The gift shop is AIR CONDITIONED, and you might find something worth taking home. It's not as far as I expected -- a nice drive through tree‑lined countryside and beautiful homes. There are a few nearby stops if you want to make a day of it. We checked out the Goodwill and I scored a ginger jar for under four bucks. And I'm pretty sure I spotted a Dairy Queen not too far down the road.

Very disappointed to see how our lady was respected. The weeds around her are awful. The bricks…read morethat were donated, you can't even see some due to weeds. There were memorial stones that were just laid against the fence and you had to pull the weeds back to see the donor. The flowers that were left were not attended to. Some extremely old and dead. The candles that could be lit were melting in the sun due to no protection. There were a couple dollar bills laying in with the bricks and not sure where they came from. Walking the cement trail to visit our lady was not good. The ducks had pooped all over and you couldn't avoid it. Maintenance could have helped that. Now we did notice a beautiful renovation with the rosary surrounding St. Michael. That was so so nice. I would hope that there will be renovations or simple maintenance to respect our lady. Disrespect to donors as well with quite a few donator signs being broke off with the lighted rosary. The little chapel for the children had a memorial sign out front and the weeds were so high you couldn't read the whole sign. It was a very disappointing 2 hour trip that left us wondering what was more important there. Was it our lady, the other events they have or the owners story. The owners were driving around the grounds and stopped us more than once to tell us about the festival and story. Also, when we were at the statue the owner drove right up and told us about the memorial wall they started. What I really wanted to say, is why can't you simply clean up what have? Thank you for the bringing our lady to Windsor just hope that she can be a lot more respected. I would not recommend to my parish to take a field trip. Sadly.
