The Glen was dedicated in 1936 to provide an educational experience for students in the Baltimore region.
Most students and faculty now know the Glen Arboretum to be the 12 acres of woods located at the center of the Towson University campus.
Here are a few things many people don’t know about the Glen Arboretum:
- Many of the structures of the Glen — the pavilion, the caretaker’s cottage, the trails and walkways—were first created in 1933 through a Works Progress Administration grant.
- Following its 1936 dedication, the Glen became central to campus social life, including May Day celebrations.
- In the 1960's, a series of open air theatrical performances were produced in the Glen by the Glen Players.
