American elm at Middlebury

Arrival & parking

Vermont’s public-access record locates this elm north of Pepin Gym on South Main Street. Middlebury recommends visitor spaces in Q Lot at the Mahaney Arts Center. Use the college campus map for the walk to Pepin Gym and the champion record’s published tree-position link for the final location.

Walking & terrain

A campus walk whose length depends on your parking space and route. No measured parking-to-tree distance or verified step-free final approach is published in the tree record. Use the campus map’s accessible-route and parking information, and stay on established paths where possible.

Access, fees & seasons

The Vermont register explicitly lists public access to the tree. Middlebury says weekday visitors parking Monday–Friday, 8 a.m.–5 p.m., should display a college parking permit; obtain a temporary permit through its visitor-parking page. No separate tree admission fee is listed. Observe campus notices, posted parking restrictions, and event arrangements.
