About East Texas Arboretum and Botanical Society
One hundred acres of wooded beauty, trees, flowers and wildlife await your discovery at the East Texas Arboretum. 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 1850, the home was relocated to the arboretum in 2001. 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 reunions, meetings, retreats, weddings, receptions and picnics. Just imagine how beautiful a bride is when framed in the arbors of spring!
