Description

Amid Overland Park’s hustle and bustle awaits 300 acres of a truly unforgettable retreat. The Arboretum is dedicated to the preservation and restoration of eight natural ecosystems, including Dry Oak Savanna, Reparian Woodland and Old Field. Nearly five miles of paved and wood chip trails wind throughout the picturesque arboretum and gardens. Don’t miss the Monet Garden, Children’s Discovery Garden or the International Sculpture Garden. This location is found along the Frontier Military Historic Byway. Exploring this byway is like traveling through time when you visit the multiple historic forts that are the namesake for the byway. Originally built to move soldiers and supplies, the Military Trail has watched American history unfold. Traveling from North to South, you'll find various landmarks such as Fort Leavenworth and Fort Scott, to other historical gems like the John Brown Museum. Also, along the route, hear legends and see monuments that memorialize history across the Kansas landscape.
