The campus features nearly six acres of spectacular formal gardens, an arboretum, and an Italianate style mansion built in 1916 for nonprofit organizations seeking a space for meetings, retreats, and celebratory events. The mansion terrace has some of the oldest and grandest wisteria vines in North America. The property is owned and managed by The Montclair Foundation.
