Taylor Memorial Arboretum
Taylor Memorial Arboretum (30 acres) is an arboretum and garden located at 10 Ridley Drive, Wallingford, Pennsylvania, United States, along Ridley Creek. It is open daily.
The arboretum includes a grotto (former quarry), millrace, and pond with bald cypress. Its collection includes three Pennsylvania State Champion Trees (a giant dogwood, a needle juniper, and a lacebark elm), as well as azaleas, dogwoods, magnolias, junipers, lilacs, viburnums, witch-hazels, Japanese maples, boxwoods, and arborvitae. The site also contains cattails, ferns, irises, mosses, rushes, and wildflowers.
It is located seven miles south of the similarly named John J. Tyler Arboretum.
In 2005 the dam was removed to make the environment "flow more smoothly" and because people were swimming in the creek. The remains of the dam, such as large rocks and the steel that held it together can be found at the bank of the creek.
