Hidden Valley Memorial Forest

Hidden Valley Memorial Forest is a 67-acre (27 ha) "in-holding' within Wendell State Forest owned by the Mount Grace Land Conservation Trust. It was donated in 1996 to the Mount Grace Land Conservation Trust by the Mrs. Mabel Cronquist, widow of noted botanist, author and curator of the New York Botanical Garden Dr. Arthur Cronquist, in his memory. Hidden Valley was the research camp and vacation home of Dr. Cronquist and his family.[2] [3] [4]

Hidden Valley Memorial Forest Plaque in Wendell State Forest

"... there is a plaque on a large boulder on the trail leading to the property which honors Mr. Cronquist. All that remains now of the homestead that was lived in by three generations of the Hunter family is a large, fairly intact cellar hole in the middle of the woods." [5]

Lynne’s Falls, located within the Hidden Valley Memorial Forest parcel, is named after Cronquist’s daughter. [6]
