Only minutes from Downtown Dallas, we decided to tour Dallas Arboretum & Botanical Gardens. Once we stepped foot on this lovely historic ground, we knew we had been transformed back into time. There were bright colorful flowers everywhere we turned, surrounded by beautiful green lawns and elegant historic homes. We knew we were ready to continue our adventure in the past.
BRIEF HISTORY:
In 1938, a 66-acre of haven beauty located in Camp Estate, which was designed and created by James Staub, a famous residential architect. Also on the grounds is the famous historic DeGolyer House, a magnificent Spanish Colonial style mansion built in 1940 by a Texas oil man, Everett DeGolyer. This vast mansion occupies 21,000 square feet and has 13 rooms, seven baths, and 16th and 17th Century antiques and artwork. This beautiful mansion is surrounded by Old English Garden, pathways, rolling green lawns, and woodlands on White Rock Lake.
Twenty-five acres of ornamental gardens and forty-one acres of natural woodlands create a beautiful haven from the outside world. The Arboretum initiates a rotating display of seasonal colors. Simply breathtakingly beautiful.
