The Lewis-Brown farm complex was acquired by OSU in the late 1930s. It is used by the College of Agriculture for horticulture research and has a shop, turf fields, an arboretum, and orchard plots. It is also home to the Agricultural Research Service’s National Clonal Germplasm Repository (NCGR), a plant gene bank.
