UPDATED JUNE 8:

Beginning June 8, the U.S. National Arboretum in Washington, D.C., will reopen with operational changes in place to protect staff and federal resources. The new schedule will see the Arboretum open from 1 to 5 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Entry to the grounds will be provided via dedicated access points and there will be limited services and amenities during this time.

The Administration Building/Visitors Center and the Museum will remain closed for now until further notice.

Arboretum visitors will be required to follow all posted guidelines designed to maximize the safety and health of all visitors and employees, including social distancing rules. For more information on new operating hours and a listing of accessible areas, potential visitors are encouraged to review the Arboretum website at www.usna.usda.gov.

While the Museum remains closed, you can virtually enjoy the peace and beauty that our beloved collections and serene space offer through regular blogs, our website photos and our website.
