Liberty Tree Memorial planted in honor of those who lost their lives in the tragic events on September 11, 2001.
This American Liberty elm was named after the Liberty Tree, our country's first symbol of freedom. On August 14, 1765, Boston awakened to discover two effigies suspended from an elm tree in protest of the hated Stamp Act. From that day forward, it became known as the Liberty Tree. It stood in silent witness to countless meetings and celebrations; and became the rallying place for the Sons of Liberty. In August 1775, as a last act of violence prior to their evacuation of Boston, British soldiers cut it down because it bore the name "Liberty."
