East Texas Arboretum & Botanical Society

One hundred acres of wooded beauty, trees, flowers, and wildlife await your discovery at the East Texas Arboretum. The rising sun provides a spectacular background for informal church services while its counterpart often bathes the sky with majesty during sunset weddings by a stream.

The forest appears to come alive as you meander along two miles of woodland trails. Camouflaged frogs, insects, and even deer often scurry away as you pass. Make your way along winding, spring-fed streams connected by a 115-foot suspension bridge.

Experience life in early Henderson County at the historic Wofford House Museum. Built in the 1800's, the home was relocated to the Arboretum several years ago. It now stands as a reminder of early pioneer days complete with period furnishings, memorabilia, and a seasonal garden.

The Arboretum is available to host your next function as well! The surroundings lend themselves well to relaxing reunions, energized meetings, retreats, receptions, and picnics. Just imagine how beautiful a bride is when framed in the arbors of spring!

Relax, explore, and enjoy!
