Tour of Valentine Turfgrass Research Center

The Valentine Turfgrass Research Center, established in 1958 to conduct field research encompassing turfgrass breeding, propagation, culture, and pest management, it is regarded as one of the finest facilities in the world. It was named after Joseph Valentine, Superintendent of Merion Golf and Cricket Club in Ardmore, Pa. Along with several superintendents, Valentine traveled to State College in 1928 and met with the president to formally request that a turfgrass program be established to serve the needs of the golf superintendents in the same way as farmers were being served through agricultural programs. This resulted in the appointment of H. Burton Musser to initiate the turfgrass program. The Penn State Turfgrass Program is now the largest in the world with nine research project leaders and a large resident, extension, and online educational program.
