Located in Pasadena, the house was once home to chewing gum mogul William Wrigley Jr. and his wife Ada. Upon Ada's death in 1958, the Wrigley family presented the property to the city of Pasadena with the request that it become home for the Tournament of Roses. Since then, the house has served as headquarters for the Rose Parade and Rose Bowl Game.
Surrounding Tournament House is the Wrigley Gardens, which spans four and a half acres and features more than 1,500 varieties of roses, camellias and annuals. The building, the grounds and the gardens are beautifully maintained and are well worth the visit.
