Tavern Oak

Linked with history of Parker & Pruett's Tavern, an 1839 inn-stagecoach stop. Then and since, oak shaded community events.

Supplemental plate (Job # 17197):

The stately Tavern Oak was destroyed in an August 9, 1996 windstorm. The 275-year-old landmark is succeeded by a new oak planted in its place.
