   The fall foliage is breathtaking this time of year on the grounds of the Kemper Center, located at 6501 Third Ave.
   Unknown to most people in Kenosha, the arboretum on the grounds displays more than 70 different species of trees, including a state grand champion horse Chestnut, and some of the trees are believed to be more than 150 years old.
   “I would hope that part of the appeal of Kemper Center is the collection of trees,” said Michael Schneider, who started the arboretum project and planted some of the first trees himself in the 1980s.
   He was inspired by some of the unusual ancient trees already present, like white pines, a dawn redwood and “knarly” lilacs.
