Early History of the Arboretum

My proposal for research is to explore the beginnings of the arboretum as a project here on campus. I wanted to look into how this space has developed into the living museum we know it as today. I was interested in possible ideas and proposals that never really panned out or alternate ideas for how the space was to be used.

This is a really interesting idea. I often wonder how the Arboretum BECAME the Arboretum to begin with. It's a manmade "natural" environment now, but I'm interested in how it shifted from an actual natural environment to a manmade "natural" environment.
