==Comprehensive History==<br />
<!-- Long version of the company history --><br />
The Wooster Arboretum was established in 1908 by Edmund {{Surname|Secrest}} on a 75-acre area at the [[Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station]]. A few plantings of hardwood species were made as early as 1901, but the development of the Arboretum and a more planned planting of the acreage began in earnest in 1908. The arboretum has historically integrated forestry and horticulture in such a way as to permit studies in plantation management, wood utilization, forest genetics, and the testing of ornamentals<ref>"Tribute to a Man and Trees," <i>Wayne County Topics</i>, October 1954, p.6</ref>. The Arboretum was dedicated as the Secrest Arboretum in 1950 in memory of Secrest, known as the "father of forestry" in Ohio. <br />
<br />
While much effort was put into developing the Arboretum, staff experienced a number of setbacks thanks to Mother Nature. The Arboretum sustained varying levels of wind damage from significant storms in 1955 (March 22), 1956 (February 25), and 1963 (April 19), presenting staff with necessary cleanup work and researchers with opportunities to study the damage and reflect on potential changes to forestry practices<ref>Oliver D. Diller and Harry R. Muckley, "Wind Damage in the Secrest Arboretum," Forestry Mimeograph No. 20, 15 April 1955</ref>.<br />
<br />
By 1978, the Arboretum had grown to approximately 85 acres with over 2000 species, varieties, or cultivars of trees and shrubs, with the oldest remaining trees - yellow poplar, northern catalpa, and European larch - dating from 1903<ref>John E. Ford, <i>Finding List and Guide to the Secrest Arboretum</i>, p.1.</ref>. Among the notable plantings in the collection are:<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
More than 140 varieties of flowering crabapples, affectionately known as "Crablandia"<br><br />
A grove of dawn redwood, once thought to be extinct, planted in 1953<br><br />
A collection of arborvitae varieties<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
The Rhododendron Display Garden, started in 1966, was a cooperative venture with the American Rhododendron Society (Great Lakes Chapter) featuring "at least four plants each of 165 different species, varieties, or hybrids of rhododendrons and azaleas growing in the garden, plus 150 Rosebay rhododendrons planted in the Secrest Arboretum in 1917"<ref><i>A Photo Tour, Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center</i>, p.[6].</ref>. While the garden was damaged in the 2010 tornado, many of these magnificent bushes still grace the arboretum.<br />
<br />
In 1970, the Garden of Roses of Legend and Romance was established at the Arboretum near the [[Barnhart Rice House, Wooster, Ohio]]. Mrs. Samuel {{Surname|Forbes}} of Cleveland donated the funding for its creation, and the roses were a gift of Mr. Joseph {{Surname|Kern}}, a well-known rose nurseryman<ref>Robert E. Whitmoyer, <i>The View From the Tower</i>, p.39.</ref>. The 2.7-acre garden reached a peak of about 1500 rose bushes representing 500 varieties, some of which were rare when the garden began<ref>Melissa Green, "Roses are for show at research center," Akron Beacon Journal, 24 July 1994</ref>. The rose garden declined throughout the 2010s due to an incurable disease called rose rosette, and in 2019-2020, all of the roses were removed and the space cleared for an experimental space, starting with trial plantings of coneflower varieties, hydrangeas, and native honeysuckles<ref>Linda Hall, "Secrest Arboretum replacing its acclaimed rose garden," Akron Beacon Journal, March 18 2019</ref>.<br />
<br />
In September 2010, an EF-2 tornado with winds reaching 135 mph swept through the OARDC campus and wreaked damage across one-fourth of the Arboretum, including many of the gardens and landscape plantings. The natural forested areas had many trees blown over or experiencing basal shear, while the understory plant communities experienced far less damage<ref>"Effects of Catastrophic Natural Disturbance on the Structure and Function of Forest Ecosystems," SEEDS: The OARDC Research Enhancement Competitive Grants Program 2014 Report of Progress, p.11</ref>. Approximately $400,000 in private donations helped the Arboretum replace plantings and renovate areas of the gardens hardest hit by the storm, and researchers have taken the opportunity to study how nature rebounds after dramatic weather damage. Another storm in November 2017 brought additional but less extensive damage to the gardens as well as to the Barnhart Rice House.<br />
<br />
In 2019, the former Research Operations building was renovated and reopened as the Secrest Arboretum Welcome and Education Center, hosting exhibits as well as educational events for visitors. The Arboretum currently covers 115 acres.<br />

==Comprehensive History==<br />
<!-- Long version of the company history --><br />
The Wooster Arboretum was established in 1908 by Edmund Secrest on a 75-acre area at the [[Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station]]. A few plantings of hardwood species were made as early as 1901, but the development of the Arboretum and a more planned planting of the acreage began in earnest in 1908. The arboretum has historically integrated forestry and horticulture in such a way as to permit studies in plantation management, wood utilization, forest genetics, and the testing of ornamentals<ref>"Tribute to a Man and Trees," <i>Wayne County Topics</i>, October 1954, p.6</ref>. The Arboretum was dedicated as the Secrest Arboretum in 1950 in memory of Secrest, known as the "father of forestry" in Ohio. <br />
<br />
While much effort was put into developing the Arboretum, staff experienced a number of setbacks thanks to Mother Nature. The Arboretum sustained varying levels of wind damage from significant storms in 1955 (March 22), 1956 (February 25), and 1963 (April 19), presenting staff with necessary cleanup work and researchers with opportunities to study the damage and reflect on potential changes to forestry practices<ref>Oliver D. Diller and Harry R. Muckley, "Wind Damage in the Secrest Arboretum," Forestry Mimeograph No. 20, 15 April 1955</ref>.<br />
<br />
By 1978, the Arboretum had grown to approximately 85 acres with over 2000 species, varieties, or cultivars of trees and shrubs, with the oldest remaining trees - yellow poplar, northern catalpa, and European larch - dating from 1903<ref>John E. Ford, <i>Finding List and Guide to the Secrest Arboretum</i>, p.1.</ref>. Among the notable plantings in the collection are:<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
More than 140 varieties of flowering crabapples, affectionately known as "Crablandia"<br><br />
A grove of dawn redwood, once thought to be extinct, planted in 1953<br><br />
A collection of arborvitae varieties<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
The Rhododendron Display Garden, started in 1966, was a cooperative venture with the American Rhododendron Society (Great Lakes Chapter) featuring "at least four plants each of 165 different species, varieties, or hybrids of rhododendrons and azaleas growing in the garden, plus 150 Rosebay rhododendrons planted in the Secrest Arboretum in 1917"<ref><i>A Photo Tour, Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center</i>, p.[6].</ref>. While the garden was damaged in the 2010 tornado, many of these magnificent bushes still grace the arboretum.<br />
<br />
In 1970, the Garden of Roses of Legend and Romance was established at the Arboretum near the [[Barnhart Rice House, Wooster, Ohio]]. Mrs. Samuel Forbes of Cleveland donated the funding for its creation, and the roses were a gift of Mr. Joseph Kern, a well-known rose nurseryman<ref>Robert E. Whitmoyer, <i>The View From the Tower</i>, p.39.</ref>. The 2.7-acre garden reached a peak of about 1500 rose bushes representing 500 varieties, some of which were rare when the garden began<ref>Melissa Green, "Roses are for show at research center," Akron Beacon Journal, 24 July 1994</ref>. The rose garden declined throughout the 2010s due to an incurable disease called rose rosette, and in 2019-2020, all of the roses were removed and the space cleared for an experimental space, starting with trial plantings of coneflower varieties, hydrangeas, and native honeysuckles<ref>Linda Hall, "Secrest Arboretum replacing its acclaimed rose garden," Akron Beacon Journal, March 18 2019</ref>.<br />
<br />
In September 2010, an EF-2 tornado with winds reaching 135 mph swept through the OARDC campus and wreaked damage across one-fourth of the Arboretum, including many of the gardens and landscape plantings. The natural forested areas had many trees blown over or experiencing basal shear, while the understory plant communities experienced far less damage<ref>"Effects of Catastrophic Natural Disturbance on the Structure and Function of Forest Ecosystems," SEEDS: The OARDC Research Enhancement Competitive Grants Program 2014 Report of Progress, p.11</ref>. Approximately $400,000 in private donations helped the Arboretum replace plantings and renovate areas of the gardens hardest hit by the storm, and researchers have taken the opportunity to study how nature rebounds after dramatic weather damage. Another storm in November 2017 brought additional but less extensive damage to the gardens as well as to the Barnhart Rice House.<br />
<br />
In 2019, the former Research Operations building was renovated and reopened as the Secrest Arboretum Welcome and Education Center, hosting exhibits as well as educational events for visitors. The Arboretum currently covers 115 acres.<br />

==Comprehensive History==<br />
<!-- Long version of the company history --><br />
The Wooster Arboretum was established in 1908 by Edmund Secrest on a 75-acre area at the [[Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station]]. A few plantings of hardwood species were made as early as 1901, but the development of the Arboretum and a more planned planting of the acreage began in earnest in 1908. The arboretum has historically integrated forestry and horticulture in such a way as to permit studies in plantation management, wood utilization, forest genetics, and the testing of ornamentals<ref>"Tribute to a Man and Trees," <i>Wayne County Topics</i>, October 1954, p.6</ref>. The Arboretum was dedicated as the Secrest Arboretum in 1950 in memory of Secrest, known as the "father of forestry" in Ohio. <br />
<br />
While much effort was put into developing the Arboretum, staff experienced a number of setbacks thanks to Mother Nature. The Arboretum sustained varying levels of wind damage from significant storms in 1955 (March 22), 1956 (February 25), and 1963 (April 19), presenting staff with necessary cleanup work and researchers with opportunities to study the damage and reflect on potential changes to forestry practices<ref>Oliver D. Diller and Harry R. Muckley, "Wind Damage in the Secrest Arboretum," Forestry Mimeograph No. 20, 15 April 1955</ref>.<br />
<br />
By 1978, the Arboretum had grown to approximately 85 acres with over 2000 species, varieties, or cultivars of trees and shrubs, with the oldest remaining trees - yellow poplar, northern catalpa, and European larch - dating from 1903<ref>John E. Ford, <i>Finding List and Guide to the Secrest Arboretum</i>, p.1.</ref>. Among the notable plantings in the collection are:<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
More than 140 varieties of flowering crabapples, affectionately known as "Crablandia"<br><br />
A grove of dawn redwood, once thought to be extinct, planted in 1953<br><br />
A collection of arborvitae varieties<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
The Rhododendron Display Garden, started in 1966, was a cooperative venture with the American Rhododendron Society (Great Lakes Chapter) featuring "at least four plants each of 165 different species, varieties, or hybrids of rhododendrons and azaleas growing in the garden, plus 150 Rosebay rhododendrons planted in the Secrest Arboretum in 1917"<ref><i>A Photo Tour, Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center</i>, p.[6].</ref>. While the garden was damaged in the 2010 tornado, many of these magnificent bushes still grace the arboretum.<br />
<br />
In 1970, the Garden of Roses of Legend and Romance was established at the Arboretum near the [[Barnhart Rice House, Wooster, Ohio]]. Mrs. Samuel Forbes of Cleveland donated the funding for its creation, and the roses were a gift of Mr. Joseph Kern, a well-known rose nurseryman<ref>Robert E. Whitmoyer, <i>The View From the Tower</i>, p.39.</ref>. The 2.7-acre garden reached a peak of about 1500 rose bushes representing 500 varieties, some of which were rare when the garden began<ref>Melissa Green, "Roses are for show at research center," Akron Beacon Journal, 24 July 1994</ref>. The rose garden declined throughout the 2010s due to an incurable disease called rose rosette, and in 2019-2020, all of the roses were removed and the space cleared for an experimental space, starting with trial plantings of coneflower varieties, hydrangeas, and native honeysuckles<ref>Linda Hall, "Secrest Arboretum replacing its acclaimed rose garden," Akron Beacon Journal, March 18 2019</ref>.<br />
<br />
In September 2010, an EF-2 tornado with winds reaching 135 mph swept through the OARDC campus and wreaked damage across one-fourth of the Arboretum, including many of the gardens and landscape plantings. The natural forested areas had many trees blown over or experiencing basal shear, while the understory plant communities experienced far less damage<ref>"Effects of Catastrophic Natural Disturbance on the Structure and Function of Forest Ecosystems," SEEDS: The OARDC Research Enhancement Competitive Grants Program 2014 Report of Progress, p.11</ref>. Approximately $400,000 in private donations helped the Arboretum replace plantings and renovate areas of the gardens hardest hit by the storm, and researchers have taken the opportunity to study how nature rebounds after dramatic weather damage. Another storm in November 2017 brought additional but less extensive damage to the gardens as well as to the Barnhart Rice House.<br />
<br />
In 2019, the former Research Operations building was renovated and reopened as the Secrest Arboretum Welcome and Education Center, hosting exhibits as well as educational events for visitors. The Arboretum currently covers 115 acres.<br />

==Comprehensive History==<br />
The Kister Mill was built in 1816 by John {{Surname|Nimmon}}. It is located in [[Millbrook, Ohio]] just a mile east of State Route 3 south of [[Wooster, Ohio|Wooster]] on County Road 34 (Kister Rd.) where it intersects with Route 83, in [[Plain Township, Wayne County, Ohio|Plain Township]]. The mill utilized water power from springs, coming from as far away as [[Springville, Ohio|Springville]].<br />
<br />
Originally a woolen mill, John Kister added a milling burr to the operation, and in 1882 the mill started to grind corn. The mill also acquired a cider press as well as metal and woodworking lathes, saws, and other wood milling and working tools. By 1976 the Mill was still performing all of this duties except weaving. In 1894 the old mill was torn down and a new structure built, which has lasted to the present<ref>"Old Mill Stream," Wayne County Topics, July 1966, p.6</ref>. In the late 1960s, owner Guy Kister "built a new wooden 18-foot water wheel with eight spokes, 56 buckets and a 4 foot face to replace the aging 1925 wheel because he felt no one would have the skills to do so in future years"<ref>"Preserving Kister Mill," Farm and Dairy, 1 October 2014</ref>.<br />
<br />
The Kister Mill was named a National Historical Landmark in 1974. While its work has diminished over the years, the mill was the oldest industry in [[Wayne County, Ohio|Wayne County]] still in operation as it approached its bicentennial in 2016, and it was "the last overhead water driven wheel remaining in Ohio"<ref>"Old Mill Stream," Wayne County Topics, July 1966, p.6</ref>. When Rich and Cindi Boyer bought the mill in 1997, "the 30-year-old water wheel was in such poor shape that Rich, a tool and die maker by trade, and his carpenter father Arden built a new wheel using patterns and guide boards Guy Kister had saved," and plans for full restoration of the mill and its development as a working museum were underway in the 2010s<ref>"Preserving Kister Mill," Farm and Dairy, 1 October 2014</ref>. In 2018, the Western Reserve Land Conservancy purchased the property and planned to partner with others to restore and improve the Kister Mill and to open it to the public.<br />

==Comprehensive History==<br />
The Kister Mill was built in 1816 by John {{Surname|Nimmon}}. It is located in [[Millbrook, Ohio]] just a mile east of State Route 3 south of [[Wooster, Ohio|Wooster]] on County Road 34 (Kister Rd.) where it intersects with Route 83, in [[Plain Township, Wayne County, Ohio|Plain Township]]. The mill utilized water power from springs, coming from as far away as [[Springville, Ohio|Springville]].<br />
<br />
Originally a woolen mill, John Kister added a milling burr to the operation, and in 1882 the mill started to grind corn. The mill also acquired a cider press as well as metal and woodworking lathes, saws, and other wood milling and working tools. By 1976 the Mill was still performing all of this duties except weaving. In 1894 the old mill was torn down and a new structure built, which has lasted to the present<ref>"Old Mill Stream," Wayne County Topics, July 1966, p.6</ref>. In the late 1960s, owner Guy Kister "built a new wooden 18-foot water wheel with eight spokes, 56 buckets and a 4 foot face to replace the aging 1925 wheel because he felt no one would have the skills to do so in future years"<ref>"Preserving Kister Mill," Farm and Dairy, 1 October 2014</ref>.<br />
<br />
The Kister Mill was named a National Historical Landmark in 1974. While its work has diminished over the years, the mill was the oldest industry in [[Wayne County, Ohio|Wayne County]] still in operation as it approached its bicentennial in 2016, and it was "the last overhead water driven wheel remaining in Ohio"<ref>"Old Mill Stream," Wayne County Topics, July 1966, p.6</ref>. When Rich and Cindi Boyer bought the mill in 1997, "the 30-year-old water wheel was in such poor shape that Rich, a tool and die maker by trade, and his carpenter father Arden built a new wheel using patterns and guide boards Guy Kister had saved," and plans for full restoration of the mill and its development as a working museum were underway in the 2010s<ref>"Preserving Kister Mill," Farm and Dairy, 1 October 2014</ref>. In 2018, the Western Reserve Land Conservancy purchased the property and planned to partner with others to restore and improve the Kister Mill and to open it to the public.<br />

==Comprehensive History==<br />
The Kister Mill was built in 1816 by John {{Surname|Nimmon}}. It is located in [[Millbrook, Ohio]] just a mile east of State Route 3 south of [[Wooster, Ohio|Wooster]] on County Road 34 (Kister Rd.) where it intersects with Route 83, in [[Plain Township, Wayne County, Ohio|Plain Township]]. The mill utilized water power from springs, coming from as far away as [[Springville, Ohio|Springville]].<br />
<br />
Originally a woolen mill, John Kister added a milling burr to the operation, and in 1882 the mill started to grind corn. The mill also acquired a cider press as well as metal and woodworking lathes, saws, and other wood milling and working tools. By 1976 the Mill was still performing all of this duties except weaving. In 1894 the old mill was torn down and a new structure built, which has lasted to the present<ref>"Old Mill Stream," Wayne County Topics, July 1966, p.6</ref>. In the late 1960s, owner Guy Kister "built a new wooden 18-foot water wheel with eight spokes, 56 buckets and a 4 foot face to replace the aging 1925 wheel because he felt no one would have the skills to do so in future years"<ref>"Preserving Kister Mill," Farm and Dairy, 1 October 2014</ref>.<br />
<br />
The Kister Mill was named a National Historical Landmark in 1974. While its work has diminished over the years, the mill was the oldest industry in [[Wayne County, Ohio|Wayne County]] still in operation as it approached its bicentennial in 2016, and it was "the last overhead water driven wheel remaining in Ohio"<ref>"Old Mill Stream," Wayne County Topics, July 1966, p.6</ref>. When Rich and Cindi Boyer bought the mill in 1997, "the 30-year-old water wheel was in such poor shape that Rich, a tool and die maker by trade, and his carpenter father Arden built a new wheel using patterns and guide boards Guy Kister had saved," and plans for full restoration of the mill and its development as a working museum were underway in the 2010s<ref>"Preserving Kister Mill," Farm and Dairy, 1 October 2014</ref>. In 2018, the Western Reserve Land Conservancy purchased the property and planned to partner with others to restore and improve the Kister Mill and to open it to the public.<br />

==Comprehensive History==<br />
The Kister Mill was built in 1816 by John {{Surname|Nimmon}}. It is located in [[Millbrook, Ohio]] just a mile east of State Route 3 south of [[Wooster, Ohio|Wooster]] on County Road 34 (Kister Rd.) where it intersects with Route 83, in [[Plain Township, Wayne County, Ohio|Plain Township]]. The mill utilized water power from springs, coming from as far away as [[Springville, Ohio|Springville]].<br />
<br />
Originally a woolen mill, John Kister added a milling burr to the operation, and in 1882 the mill started to grind corn. The mill also acquired a cider press as well as metal and woodworking lathes, saws, and other wood milling and working tools. By 1976 the Mill was still performing all of this duties except weaving. In 1894 the old mill was torn down and a new structure built, which has lasted to the present<ref>"Old Mill Stream," Wayne County Topics, July 1966, p.6</ref>. In the late 1960s, owner Guy Kister "built a new wooden 18-foot water wheel with eight spokes, 56 buckets and a 4 foot face to replace the aging 1925 wheel because he felt no one would have the skills to do so in future years"<ref><a href="https://www.farmanddairy.com/news/preserving-kister-mill/216952.html">"Preserving Kister Mill," Farm and Dairy, 1 October 2014</a> (link last checked 25 January 2022)</ref>.<br />
<br />
The Kister Mill was named a National Historical Landmark in 1974. While its work has diminished over the years, the mill was the oldest industry in [[Wayne County, Ohio|Wayne County]] still in operation as it approached its bicentennial in 2016, and it was "the last overhead water driven wheel remaining in Ohio"<ref>"Old Mill Stream," Wayne County Topics, July 1966, p.6</ref>. When Rich and Cindi Boyer bought the mill in 1997, "the 30-year-old water wheel was in such poor shape that Rich, a tool and die maker by trade, and his carpenter father Arden built a new wheel using patterns and guide boards Guy Kister had saved," and plans for full restoration of the mill and its development as a working museum were underway in the 2010s<ref><a href="https://www.farmanddairy.com/news/preserving-kister-mill/216952.html">"Preserving Kister Mill," Farm and Dairy, 1 October 2014</a> (link last checked 25 January 2022)</ref>. In 2018, the Western Reserve Land Conservancy purchased the property and planned to partner with others to restore and improve the Kister Mill and to open it to the public.<br />

==Comprehensive History==<br />
The Kister Mill was built in 1816 by John {{Surname|Nimmon}}. It is located in [[Millbrook, Ohio]] just a mile east of State Route 3 south of [[Wooster, Ohio|Wooster]] on County Road 34 (Kister Rd.) where it intersects with Route 83, in [[Plain Township, Wayne County, Ohio|Plain Township]]. The mill utilized water power from springs, coming from as far away as [[Springville, Ohio|Springville]].<br />
<br />
Originally a woolen mill, John Kister added a milling burr to the operation, and in 1882 the mill started to grind corn. The mill also acquired a cider press as well as metal and woodworking lathes, saws, and other wood milling and working tools. By 1976 the Mill was still performing all of this duties except weaving. In 1894 the old mill was torn down and a new structure built, which has lasted to the present<ref>"Old Mill Stream," Wayne County Topics, July 1966, p.6</ref>. In the late 1960s, owner Guy Kister "built a new wooden 18-foot water wheel with eight spokes, 56 buckets and a 4 foot face to replace the aging 1925 wheel because he felt no one would have the skills to do so in future years"<ref><a href="https://www.farmanddairy.com/news/preserving-kister-mill/216952.html">"Preserving Kister Mill," Farm and Dairy, 1 October 2014</a> (link last checked 25 January 2022)</ref>.<br />
<br />
The Kister Mill was named a National Historical Landmark in 1974. While its work has diminished over the years, the mill was the oldest industry in [[Wayne County, Ohio|Wayne County]] still in operation as it approached its bicentennial in 2016, and it was "the last overhead water driven wheel remaining in Ohio"<ref>"Old Mill Stream," Wayne County Topics, July 1966, p.6</ref>. When Rich and Cindi Boyer bought the mill in 1997, "the 30-year-old water wheel was in such poor shape that Rich, a tool and die maker by trade, and his carpenter father Arden built a new wheel using patterns and guide boards Guy Kister had saved," and plans for full restoration of the mill and its development as a working museum were underway in the 2010s<ref><a href="https://www.farmanddairy.com/news/preserving-kister-mill/216952.html">"Preserving Kister Mill," Farm and Dairy, 1 October 2014</a> (link last checked 25 January 2022)</ref>.<br />

While its work has diminished over the years, the mill was the oldest industry in [[Wayne County, Ohio|Wayne County]] still in operation as it approached its bicentennial in 2016, and it was "the last overhead water driven wheel remaining in Ohio"<ref>"Old Mill Stream," Wayne County Topics, July 1966, p.6</ref>. When Rich and Cindi Boyer bought the mill in 1997, "the 30-year-old water wheel was in such poor shape that Rich, a tool and die maker by trade, and his carpenter father Arden built a new wheel using patterns and guide boards Guy Kister had saved," and plans for full restoration of the mill and its development as a working museum were underway in the 2010s<ref><a href="https://www.farmanddairy.com/news/preserving-kister-mill/216952.html">"Preserving Kister Mill," Farm and Dairy, 1 October 2014</a> (link last checked 25 January 2022)</ref>.<br />

==Comprehensive History==<br />
<!-- Long version of the company history --><br />
The Wooster Arboretum was established in 1908 by Edmund Secrest on a 75-acre area at the [[Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station]]. A few plantings of hardwood species were made as early as 1901, but the development of the Arboretum and a more planned planting of the acreage began in earnest in 1908. The arboretum has historically integrated forestry and horticulture in such a way as to permit studies in plantation management, wood utilization, forest genetics, and the testing of ornamentals<ref>"Tribute to a Man and Trees," <i>Wayne County Topics</i>, October 1954, p.6</ref>. The Arboretum was dedicated as the Secrest Arboretum in 1950 in memory of Secrest, known as the "father of forestry" in Ohio. <br />
<br />
By 1978, the Arboretum had grown to approximately 85 acres with over 2000 species, varieties, or cultivars of trees and shrubs, with the oldest remaining trees - yellow poplar, northern catalpa, and European larch - dating from 1903<ref>John E. Ford, <i>Finding List and Guide to the Secrest Arboretum</i>, p.1.</ref>. Among the notable plantings in the collection are:<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
More than 140 varieties of flowering crabapples, affectionately known as "Crablandia"<br><br />
A grove of dawn redwood, once thought to be extinct, planted in 1953<br><br />
A collection of arborvitae varieties<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
The Rhododendron Display Garden, started in 1966, was a cooperative venture with the American Rhododendron Society (Great Lakes Chapter) featuring "at least four plants each of 165 different species, varieties, or hybrids of rhododendrons and azaleas growing in the garden, plus 150 Rosebay rhododendrons planted in the Secrest Arboretum in 1917"<ref><i>A Photo Tour, Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center</i>, p.[6].</ref>. While the garden was damaged in the 2010 tornado, many of these magnificent bushes still grace the arboretum.<br />
<br />
In 1970, the Garden of Roses of Legend and Romance was established at the Arboretum near the [[Barnhart Rice House, Wooster, Ohio]]. Mrs. Samuel Forbes of Cleveland donated the funding for its creation, and the roses were a gift of Mr. Joseph Kern, a well-known rose nurseryman<ref>Robert E. Whitmoyer, <i>The View From the Tower</i>, p.39.</ref>. The 2.7-acre garden reached a peak of about 1500 rose bushes representing 500 varieties, some of which were rare when the garden began<ref>Melissa Green, "Roses are for show at research center," Akron Beacon Journal, 24 July 1994</ref>. The rose garden declined throughout the 2010s due to an incurable disease called rose rosette, and in 2019-2020, all of the roses were removed and the space cleared for an experimental space, starting with trial plantings of coneflower varieties, hydrangeas, and native honeysuckles<ref>Linda Hall, "Secrest Arboretum replacing its acclaimed rose garden," Akron Beacon Journal, March 18 2019</ref>.<br />
<br />
In September 2010, an EF-2 tornado with winds reaching 135 mph swept through the OARDC campus and wreaked damage across one-fourth of the Arboretum, including many of the gardens and landscape plantings. The natural forested areas had many trees blown over or experiencing basal shear, while the understory plant communities experienced far less damage<ref>"Effects of Catastrophic Natural Disturbance on the Structure and Function of Forest Ecosystems," SEEDS: The OARDC Research Enhancement Competitive Grants Program 2014 Report of Progress, p.11</ref>. Approximately $400,000 in private donations helped the Arboretum replace plantings and renovate areas of the gardens hardest hit by the storm, and researchers have taken the opportunity to study how nature rebounds after dramatic weather damage. Another storm in November 2017 brought additional but less extensive damage to the gardens as well as to the Barnhart Rice House.<br />
<br />
In 2019, the former Research Operations building was renovated and reopened as the Secrest Arboretum Welcome and Education Center, hosting exhibits as well as educational events for visitors. The Arboretum currently covers 115 acres.<br />

Originally opened on August 1, 1937 by L. Gordon Watson, the locker plant was purchased by Don Werner on October 1, 1957, and renamed Werner's Frozen Food Center. At that time the plant included "1000 individual frozen food lockers and additional bulk storage space" as well as a smoke room for smoking hams, bacon, turkey, and other meats<ref>"Local Locker Plant," Wayne County Topics, January 1959, p.5</ref>. The plant also sold and processed all types of meats as well as offered customers the possibility of freezing vegetables in bulk.<br />

==Comprehensive History==<br />
<!-- Long version of the company history --><br />
In 1950, Allen Yenne and Carl E. Smith, both of whom had experience in the oil and gas business around Ohio, established the Sandy Supply Company in both Wooster and Zanesville, Ohio. After an initially bumpy start attempting to "secure direct mill distributorships from various pipe manufacturers," the company grew to become one of the leading suppliers of gas and oil supplies east of the Mississippi River<ref>"Sandy Supply Company," Wayne County Topics, July 1957, p.6</ref>.<br />

==Comprehensive History==<br />
<!-- Long version of the company history --><br />
Established in 1872, the company was located just west of Wooster "because of the very fine shale deposit in this area"<ref>"Medal Brick and Tile Co.," Wayne County Topics, June 1957, p.6</ref>. Initially established to produce paving brick for highway construction, the company later expanded its products to foundation tile and architectural face brick. As of 1957, the company still did not rely on "modern mass producing equipment" in order to create its products, instead employing craftsmen dedicated to making quality building materials<ref>"Medal Brick and Tile Co.," Wayne County Topics, June 1957, p.6</ref>.<br />

While the Armstrong family was one of the first settler families in Canaan Township, it was not until 1932 that Raymond Armstrong established Armstrong Farms with his duck-raising operation. He started with marketing around 150 ducks per week, growing to around 1000 ducks per week by the late 1950s<ref>"Armstrong Farms," Wayne County Topics, October 1957, p.5</ref>. Raymond's sons Richard and John began raising turkeys as an outgrowth of the FFA program at Burbank High School. The farm operations included producing, dressing, and distributing the ducks (primarily to larger metropolitan areas in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York) and turkeys (marketed more locally).<br />

Originally opened on August 1, 1937 by L. Gordon Watson, the locker plant was purchased by Don Werner on October 1, 1957, and renamed Werner's Frozen Food Center. At that time the plant included "1000 individual frozen food lockers and additional bulk storage space" as well as a smoke room for smoking hams, bacon, turkey, and other meats<ref>"Local Locker Plant," Wayne County Topics, January 1959, p.5</ref>. The plant also sold and processed all types of meats as well as offered customers the possibility of freezing vegetables in bulk.<br />

While the Armstrong family was one of the first settler families in Canaan Township, it was not until 1932 that Raymond Armstrong established Armstrong Farms with his duck-raising operation. He started with marketing around 150 ducks per week, growing to around 1000 ducks per week by the late 1950s<ref>"Armstrong Farms," Wayne County Topics, October 1957, p.5</ref>. Raymond's sons Richard and John began raising turkeys as an outgrowth of the FFA program at Burbank High School. The farm operations included producing, dressing, and distributing the ducks (primarily to larger metropolitan areas in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York) and turkeys (marketed more locally).<br />

==Comprehensive History==<br />
<!-- Long version of the company history --><br />
In 1950, Allen Yenne and Carl E. Smith, both of whom had experience in the oil and gas business around Ohio, established the Sandy Supply Company in both Wooster and Zanesville, Ohio. After an initially bumpy start attempting to "secure direct mill distributorships from various pipe manufacturers," the company grew to become one of the leading suppliers of gas and oil supplies east of the Mississippi River<ref>"Sandy Supply Company," Wayne County Topics, July 1957, p.6</ref>.<br />

==Comprehensive History==<br />
<!-- Long version of the company history --><br />
Established in 1872, the company was located just west of Wooster "because of the very fine shale deposit in this area"<ref>"Medal Brick and Tile Co.," Wayne County Topics, June 1957, p.6</ref>. Initially established to produce paving brick for highway construction, the company later expanded its products to foundation tile and architectural face brick. As of 1957, the company still did not rely on "modern mass producing equipment" in order to create its products, instead employing craftsmen dedicated to making quality building materials<ref>"Medal Brick and Tile Co.," Wayne County Topics, June 1957, p.6</ref>.<br />
