Wandering Tree Estate has an extremely rare American chestnut tree in a beautiful bending shape. Around 1904, the American chestnut trees were hit with a blight and an estimated 3-4 billion of these trees died. We’re so lucky to have this gorgeous unusually shaped tree here for all to see at private events at the Estate.

Make sure you have your photos taken next to the American chestnut tree, a tree that has been designated “functionally extinct.” To make reservations for your private event at Wandering Tree Estate, please call us at: (847) 381-1907 or via e-mail at: info@ wanderingtree.com or on our website: WanderingTree.com

Imagine a picture-perfect day at Wandering Tree Estate, a secluded private botanic garden venue nestled on the shores of its own serene lake, where love knows no boundaries. Jessica & Alla’s wedding, celebrating with unwavering support for LGBTQ equality, was a dazzling showcase of unity and romance. Surrounded by the lush, blooming gardens of the Estate, two radiant brides exchanged their vows under the old oak tree, their love story embraced by nature's splendor and witnessed by cherished friends and family.
