Adkins Arboretum is a 440-acre garden and preserve dedicated to promoting the appreciation and conservation of the region’s native plants. Walking along streams, over wetlands, and through woodlands allows visitors to experience the kinds of landscapes that freedom seekers on the Underground Railroad passed through on their way north.
The arboretum offers programs year-round in ecology, horticulture and natural history for all ages, including special programming related to survival strategies used by fleeing slaves traversing these landscapes generations ago. Five miles of paths feature streams, meadows and rich bottomland forest.
The arboretum offers an audio tour about outdoor survival and navigation on the Underground Railroad. The tour program is recognized by the National Park Service Network to Freedom Program as providing authentic and accurate information. Other self-guided tours and public programs are avenues to discover the joys of nature. Stretch your legs and take a walk on a boardwalk or trail.
