The James Pass Arboretum was established by the City of Syracuse, New York through the philanthropy of Adelaide Salisbury Pass and family with the guidance and cooperation of the State College of Forestry (now SUNY-ESF) to be a classic arboretum in the tradition of the Arnold Arboretum in Boston MA, that is, a museum of woody plants designed for education and horticultural display.〔"Property Given by Pass Family for Arboretum", Syracuse Herald Journal, March 22, 1925 p16 & 22〕〔"Revisioning an Historic Landscape: The James Pass Arboretum", Syracuse, New York. Typed and bound project report, 279 pages, 7 tables, 97 figures, 1994 Aida A.

The western boundary is Sacred Heart Cemetery in the town of Geddes and the northern side of the park also borders Myrtle Hill Cemetery. ==History== On March 22, 1925, Syracuse Mayor John Henry Walrath announced the gift of land consisting of 12.1 acres, adjacent to Burnet Park by Adelaide Pass and family.
