EXCITING NEW UPDATE!! 🤩

You have asked, and we have answered!!! We are proud to let you all know that the Carleen Bright Arboretum is becoming even more accessible for our guests! Starting Tuesday, September 8th, the land bridge connecting the Whitehall area and the gazebo area will be closed as we add a new concrete path so that guests can navigate the grounds more easily! This closure is expected to last through Friday, September 11th, or until the project is complete. Please use the alternate route posted here to navigate the grounds until the project is complete.
