The Brenton Arboretum was established by Sue and J.C. (Buz) Brenton and their children because of their love of trees, the importance of trees to our world, and their desire to preserve a beautiful and important natural area. The first trees were planted in the 140-acre Arboretum during the spring of 1997. The Master Plan was created by Anthony Tyznik, who for many years was the landscape architect for the Morton Arboretum in Chicago, Illinois. The Brenton Arboretum is a non-profit organization and is open to the public.

The Arboretum includes over 2,600 trees and shrubs representing over 175 species and types, all identified. You will find here, in addition to a central road with parking areas; walking paths, prairies, streams, a small lake and pond with boardwalks, delightful bridges and a pavilion for picnics and events. You will find this a natural, very tranquil place with vistas and places to sit and reflect.
