The Root Glen at Hamilton College in Clinton, NY, is a picturesque arboretum shaped by the dedication of the Root family over three generations. Originally established by Oren Root in the mid-19th century, the glen features a diverse collection of approximately 65 tree species, numerous shrubs, and a variety of flowers, emphasizing native flora and conservation efforts.

Notable for its hybridized tree peonies created by Professor A.P. Saunders, the glen also includes specialized gardens such as the Grant Garden, designed for Elihu Root's daughter. Today, it serves as a beautiful public space for educational purposes and to promote interest in botany and local biodiversity, continuing the vision of the Root family.
