The Historic Boundary Oak

[RJNorton]

It's Abraham Lincoln's birthday, and thank you to Joe Di Cola for sending a photo of the Boundary Oak. Joe writes, "It is a photo of the boundary oak that I took in summer, 1969 when the tree was still flourishing. The tree was dead seven years later, and was eventually removed. It marked one of the property boundaries of the Sinking Spring farm where Lincoln was born."

Personally, I saw this historic tree in c.1952 when my folks stopped at Lincoln's birthplace during a family vacation. The NPS has a web page devoted to the tree here.
