William Bartram Arboretum

William Bartram Arboretum, Botanical garden in Wetumpka, Alabama, United States

William Bartram Arboretum is a 30-acre (12 ha) arboretum near Wetumpka, Alabama, within the 165-acre Fort Toulouse-Jackson Park. A boardwalk and paths lead from the visitor center through wildflower fields, bogs, and forests to Fort Toulouse, then to an overlook of the Tallapoosa River. Shrubs and flowers are labeled for identification.

The arboretum opened on June 5, 1977, as a joint project of The Garden Club of Alabama and the Alabama Historical Commission, which operates it. It lies within the 165-acre Fort Toulouse-Jackson Park at the confluence of the Coosa and Tallapoosa rivers, off U.S. Route 231 on Fort Toulouse Road. It is named for naturalist William Bartram, who visited the area in 1776.

The name honors William Bartram, an 18th-century naturalist who studied the region's plants during his travels. Visitors walk through habitats that showcase the same plant species Bartram observed centuries ago.

The arboretum lies off U.S. Route 231 at 2521 Fort Toulouse Road, near Wetumpka. The route runs as a boardwalk and paths from the visitor center to Fort Toulouse, then down to a Tallapoosa River overlook. It is open sunrise to sunset all year.
