Curtis Hall Arboretum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Curtis Hall Arboretum, sometimes called Curtis Arboretum, is a 45 acre arboretum and located at 1250 Church Road (Route 73), Wyncote, Pennsylvania.
The arboretum surrounds Curtis Hall, once the ballroom of the Cyrus Curtis Mansion, and now operated by the Cheltenham Township Parks and Recreation Department. It features hills, two ponds, and over 50 types of trees.
For more than 25 years, nearby Cheltenham High School has utilized the grounds of Curtis Arboretum as its home cross country course during the fall cross country season. The course measures approximately 2.9 miles.

The room that remains from the Curtis estate was a music room...not a ballroom. I worked there for 5 years
