Established in 1929 by Beman and Bertie Dawes, The Dawes Arboretum in Newark, Ohio was founded to encourage the planting of forest and ornamental trees and to give pleasure to the public and education to youth. Newark was chosen for its central location, soils, and climate. Over the years, collections expanded and notable people participated in tree plantings. Today, the arboretum encompasses nearly 2,000 acres of plant collections, garden and natural areas for the community to enjoy.
