Another Wordless Wednesday with some history of the Cohn Arboretum.
HISTORY OF THE COHN ARBORETUM
In celebration of his daughter Maggie's marriage to Laurens Henry Cohn in 1923, Alphonse deBretton gave his daughter and son-in-law a 16-acre tract in the pleasant countryside north of Baton Rouge. The newlyweds built a small house for $748 and transformed the remaining land into an enthralling sanctuary with more than 100 plant species. In 1964, the Cohn family donated this land to BREC. In 1980, BREC opened the Laurens Henry Cohn Sr. Memorial Plant Arboretum to the public.
