Judy Garland Birthplace Description
Fans of Dorothy Gale from Kansas can see where Frances Gumm was born in Grand Rapids, Minn. Born Frances Gumm, Judy Garland eventually went on to become one of Hollywood's most iconic entertainers, both as a singer and as the beloved Dorothy in 'The Wizard of Oz.' See the rooms where Garland spent her early years, and the original piano on which her musical talent blossomed. Visit in June and you'll see Garland's front lawn ablaze with poppies, much like the field Dorothy dozed in with her yellow-brick-road friends.
