The C.W. Post Campus is nationally recognized as one of the most
beautiful college campuses in the nation. The scenic campus is
famous for its magnificent formal gardens, rolling green lawns
and 4,000 trees -- some among the largest on Long Island. A 40-acre
portion of the campus is designated as an arboretum that features
more than 125 trees (some very rare). Each tree is labeled with
interesting horticultural facts and origin information. The trees
are located along a self-guided walking trail that encircles the
campus' main academic buildings. One of the landmarks along the
trail is the breathtaking Tudor mansion that was once the home
of cereal heiress Marjorie Merriweather Post.
The arboretum is open to the public seven days a week from dawn
to dusk, free of charge. The self-guided walking
trail starts and ends at Hillwood Commons and lasts anywhere from
30 to 45 minutes.
