Web Updates
New information occasionally comes to light which changes the perspective of the Arboretum's history. There are over a dozen books, some unavailable in the public domain, and some that cover other details of Derby's history but mention the Arboretum. There is no end to the amount of research that could be done for a history project, but this website is able to adjust to the new information at our disposal. |
