National Park Ranger, Barry Stahl, (L) and America's History Lady™ (R). Alexandria, Virginia October 8, 2010
Acorns from the famous 600 year old Salem Oak Tree, Salem New Jersey were collected from under the Salem Oak last October 3, 2010 by Grandma Ginny America's History Lady™. The historic event was organized in Salem by the Salem County Historical Society. A few days later Grandma Ginny presented two containers of the Salem Oak acorns to National Park Ranger, Barry Stahl, National Park Service Horticulturalist for the George Washington Memorial Parkway. Ranger Stahl agreed to tend the acorns in the National Park Service greenhouse, shown in the photo above, and at the appropriate time transfer the saplings to a place of honor on the George Washington Memorial Parkway. Those of you who have been following the story will be delighted to learn that due to the professional care provided by Ranger Stahl, the acorns for which he has been caring since October 2010 have taken root and are starting to grow. A few are shown in the photo below.
. The “new” Salem Oak progeny will replace the Salem Oak progeny that were part of the 1937 planting for the Sesquicentennial of the signing of the U.S. Constitution. The progeny were part of the 3 tree donations from each of the states representing the 13 original colonies. According to the National Park Service, the trees were planted directly across the Parkway from Theodore Roosevelt Island on what used to be an embankment, but is now part of I-66 and part giant retaining wall; probably somewhere from the current pedestrian bridge area south to exit to Theodore Roosevelt Bridge. Sadly, they are no more as they were removed to make way for I-66. America’s History Lady, with the help of the NPS, will arrange to receive progeny from famous trees in the remaining 12 colonies (states) and present them to Ranger Stahl so that famous trees from all 13 original colonies will again be represented in a special spot along what is now the George Washington Memorial Parkway, previously known as the Mount Vernon Memorial Parkway. Click on New Jersey button in left column for more of the story and photos. Click on the Salem Oak Tree in the photo gallery above far right to learn the Story of the Salem Oak. ________________________________ History As this section develops you will find information on current news relating to American history such as which historic locations are being improved, expanded, closed for the season or opened to visitors.
