Leonard J. Buck Garden

The Leonard J. Buck Garden is one of the premier rock gardens in the eastern United States. Started in the late 1930s, the garden has reached a breathtaking point of maturity. It consists of a series of alpine and woodland gardens situated on a 33-acre wooded stream valley. Named for Mr. Leonard J. Buck who developed the garden as part of his estate, it was donated to the Somerset County Park Commission by Mrs. Helen Buck in 1976.
