Reeves-Reed Arboretum in Summit, New Jersey, is a 13.5-acre public arboretum and garden whose land reflects a long history, from a Lenni Lenape travel route and Revolutionary War-era farming to a country estate called The Clearing. Beginning in 1889, John Hornor Wisner and his wife Isabelle developed the property with a Colonial Revival house, specimen trees, flower beds, and winding paths. Later owners, including Richard and Susie Reeves and the Charles L. Reed family, expanded the gardens with notable additions such as the rose and herb gardens. Preserved by the City of Summit in 1974, it remains a well-kept example of early 20th-century Country Place Era landscape design and an active community garden.
