The Cora Hartshorn Arboretum and Bird Sanctuary (16.5 acres), also known as the Hartshorn Arboretum, is an arboretum and bird sanctuary. Its trails are open to the public daily without charge. Various programs are also offered for children, families, and adults. The arboretum was begun by Miss Cora Hartshorn in 1923 on undeveloped woodland of oaks, tulip trees, dogwood, and beech.
