As part of the bicentennial celebration of the establishment of Normandy -- the estate of Clark's neighbor and business partner, Charles Lucas -- Wayside expanded its prairie garden and named it in honor of Clark. Now one-half acre in size, it provides a home for some of the "fragrant wildflowers" and "humming insects" which Irving extolled in his descriptions of the prairie surrounding Clark's estate.
