Story of Jones Arboretum and Sundial – Vernon County Historical Society

Local historian Veronica Kleiber will tell the interesting story of Royce and Fran Jones and the arboretum and sundial that they built along Highway 14 between Readstown and Viroqua. The sundial is believed to be the largest armillary sundial in the world. Today the arboretum has become Second Nature at Reads Creek (formerly, Reads Creek Nursery). The current owners, David and Jennifer Tubbin, will talk about the present and future of the place.
