Guided Tour of the Barnes Arboretum
Dr. and Mrs. Barnes spent decades developing their lovely 12-acre private estate into a living laboratory of rare plant specimens collected from all over the world. Intended for use by students of the Barnes Arboretum School, founded in 1940, today it is home to over 20 state champion trees, along with collections of roses, lilacs, peonies, ferns, and other ornamental species. A remarkable example of early 20th-century landscape design, the Barnes Arboretum also provides a perspective on the personalities and pedagogical philosophies of its founders.
