Designed by Lord & Burnham, our historic conservatory, modeled after rare glasshouses in London, England, opened in 1900. Our grounds have been designated as a Level II Arboretum through ArbNet, Our arboretum is home to over 100 trees, some of which are considered ‘original Olmstead plantings’ and are over 125 years old.
