Herrontown Woods Arboretum, Botanical garden in Princeton, New Jersey, United States.
The 142-acre woodland features three miles of marked trails through dense forest, crossing rocky streams and following natural elevation changes.
Mathematician Oswald Veblen and his wife Elizabeth donated the initial 81 acres in 1957, establishing Princeton's first nature preserve.
The Veblen House within the woods maintains connections to Princeton's mathematical heritage through its former resident, a colleague of Albert Einstein.
Visitors can access the arboretum daily without charge through the main entrance at 624 Snowden Lane, with parking available on site.
The preserve contains 57 different tree species and includes the headwaters of Harry's Brook, flowing through the eastern Princeton Ridge.
