Morton Arboretum
Arboretum · Lisle, Illinois
Seventeen hundred acres of trees at Lisle, founded in 1922 by Joy Morton of the salt company — whose father invented Arbor Day — and planted as a living collection rather than a park. It holds something over four thousand kinds of tree and shrub from around the world across sixteen miles of trails, and it runs a rotating programme of large outdoor sculpture that has made it far better known than an arboretum would otherwise be.
