Arbor Day Farm was once the agricultural estate of Arbor Day founder J. Sterling Morton. Along with many of the original barns, buildings, and orchards, the farm now includes a working apple processing operation, and is home to over 170 species of birds, white-tailed deer, bobcat, raccoon, opossum, muskrat, mink, red fox, and numerous other mammals.

Tree House Trail Interpretive site
Exhibits along the Tree House Trail immerse visitors in the sights, sounds, and fragrances of the forest. View tubes direct the eye to “oddities” of nature...small wonders of the natural world often overlooked. Listening stations bring the sounds of the forest close by. A special bird exhibit allows visitors to hear the call of birds common to Arbor Day Farm and then offers an opportunity to imitate the call and hear the attempt through a recorded playback system.
