Why visit Klehm in October?
Our property began as the Rockford Nurseries in the early 1920s and matured into the public garden and arboretum you know today. Rockford's Living Museum is home to 155 acres of beautiful fall colors our diverse collection of trees, shrubs, grasses, and nearly a century of horticultural development provides. Enjoy the splendor of the season with a tour of Klehm. You're always welcome to bring picnics,canine friends and cameras.
