Four Centuries in a Weekend is a Union County tradition that enables residents and visitors to travel through time and learn about the rich history of our community. Reeves-Reed Arboretum is participating on Saturday, October 18 from 10 am – 4 pm.  We will be offering the following activities that will help you learn about the history of this historic estate now known as Reeves-Reed Arboretum:

  • Visit our history exhibit to view artifacts and photographs of the Reeves, Reed, and Wisner families.
  • Take a free Horticulture & History Tour at 10:30 am or 1:30 pm (meet in front of the Wisner House).
  • Grab a Map & Guide from our Visitors Center to aide your self-guided walk throughout the grounds, trails and gardens.
  • Stop by Beacon Signal Fire #10, a replica of the original Revolutionary War beacon that was recently installed on “the hill”.
  • Walk along the Wildflower Trail and stop to read our interpretive signage highlighting the property’s history.
  • Visit the current art exhibit in historic Wisner House.
