Thanks-Giving Square is a place that inspires gratitude and honors the great American and world traditions of thanksgiving. Designed in 1976 by architect Philip Johnson, this island of serenity in the heart of downtown Dallas contains a landscaped meditation garden with cascading fountains and a chapel open to people of all faiths and traditions. Gabriel Loire's dramatic "Glory Window” and Norman Rockwell's “Golden Rule” mosaic are highlights of the art collection on display. Throughout the year Thanks-Giving Square hosts an array of events, exhibitions, and community celebrations that promote the spirit and unifying value of giving thanks. Visitor guide available in English, Spanish, Chinese, French, Russian, Arabic. Braille/tactile signage available. Admission is free; donations are accepted.
This is probably the most surprising hidden gem in the city. I saw this place by accident and it was an exciting discovery to see the chapel and the surrounding location. I got lots of photos and it...
Definitely a must-visit for anyone with an interest in architecture or religious buildings. Free to see and takes very little time.
The architecture and landscape is very interesting and inviting! Free to visit including inside of the temple. No banchs to rest but few small tables with chairs from small cafe... Conveniently...
