Taylor Memorial Arboretum

Created on the site of a previous industrial mill complex,[1] it is located seven miles south of the similarly named John J. Tyler Arboretum.

This arboretum features a grotto (former quarry), millrace, and pond with bald cypress.

Its collection also 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.

In 2005, the dam was removed to make the environment "flow more smoothly" and because people were swimming in the creek.

[2] The remains of the dam, including large rocks and the steel that held it together, may be found at the bank of the creek.

Ridley Creek forms the border between the arboretum and the urban area near Chester .
