Longwood Gardens in southeastern Pennsylvania (which is
pretty spectacular, in any case) has some of the most
gorgeous copper beeches imaginable. They are huge and I
think they are quite old.

http://www.longwoodgardens.org - a fast look doesn't show a
picture of them, unfortunately.

I used to live in Newark, Delaware - near Longwood, and I
visited it a lot (also Winterthur). They are the only
things I miss about living down there. (We're in
Pennsylvania now, but far from that area.)
