The William F. Curtis Arboretum was established back in 1937, when Cedar Crest College moved to its present on a bare and uninteresting expense of land. Dr. Curtis set about beautifying the campus by planting masses of trees, flowers and shrubs from all over the world. Today this wonderful mature arboretum covers around 84 acres and is home to more than 140 species of trees. Visitors are invited to join free guided tours of the gardens, where visitors can get hands-on knowledge about tree identification, botany and ecology.
