The Grove

Name: The Grove

Built: 1867 

Information:

  • The Grove was planted by volunteers from church in 1867
  • The Grove was 11 acres adorned with native fir and maple trees.
  • It is considered a prominent location that has been on campus from the start of the institution.

In 1962, the famous Columbus Day Storm destroyed the Grove. Remaining trees had to be cut down. The Class of 1967 gave a gift of the last Grove tree stump as a reminder of the past. In 1972, there was a ceremony for replanting of the new Grove that still stands today.

A surprising discovery was made in a tree whilst cleaning up the fallen trees. The plaque of the class of 1904.
