The Tanger Arboretum was established by Louise Arnold Tanger in 1957. This superb arboretum is tucked away on a 10-acre site in a shady residential neighborhood and is home to over 250 species of trees and evergreen plants. The arboretum surrounds the Wheatlands home of America’s 15th president, James Buchanan. The many trees planted back in the 1950’s have matured into majestic specimens, and more recently a Dwarf Conifer garden has been added, featuring more than 100 species of small and miniature confers. The Arboretum is open to the public every day and is free to visit – you can pick up a map at LancasterHistory Visitor’s Center
