Morton's father, Julius Sterling Morton, had founded Arbor Day. Morton's daughter, Jean Cudahy (Morton) took her father's seat on the board of trustees after he died in 1934. [14] The arboretum's first superintendent was Clarence E. Godshalk, who had received a master's degree in landscape design from the University of Michigan in 1921. [15]
The house was originally a modest 4-room frame structure on 160 acres (65 ha). It was extended several times, most recently in 1903, and in later years served as the summer home for his son Joy Morton, founder of Morton Salt Company. The mansion features Victorian and Empire furnishings, many of which were owned by the Mortons.
The son also created The Morton Arboretum in Lisle, Illinois, in 1922. Today, Joy Morton's original 400-acre (1.6 km 2) Thornhill Estate, which he acquired in 1910, has been transformed into a 1,700-acre (6.9 km 2) living history museum of over 4,000 different types of trees, shrubs, and other woody plants.
