The Morton Arboretum
Lisle
Founded in 1922 by Joy Morton of Morton Salt, the Morton Arboretum is an internationally recognized tree-focused botanical garden and research center covering 1,700 acres in DuPage County. With 9 miles of paved roads and 16 miles of hiking trails, the Schulenburg Prairie — one of the finest restored tallgrass prairies in the Chicago region — is home to swaying grasses and tall wildflowers alive with butterflies, bees, and birds in summer. The arboretum's woodland edges provide prime breeding habitat for ruby-throated hummingbirds, while the prairie serves as a major migration corridor.
