Grove of Historic of Trees
Embedded Files
These trees all share a story. They are named after someone influential to American History. They were planted in 1993 by the Kent County Forestry Board, Kent Soil and Water Conservation District, Southern States, Willards, and several Eagle Scouts to share teach both about history and about trees! Each tree is the seedling from a historic tree that was present at an important event or connected to a person of historical significance.
