Freedom Tree is in a small park across from Veteran's Park. There are several war memorials here, as well as two trees honoring those who served.
Freedom Tree has a plaque, and two benches for visitors to sit and pay their respects. A walkway leads from the tree to the main memorial at the center of the park. The plaque is in the grassy area next to the tree, but is raised and several inches thick.
There is no parking at the war memorial. Please park across the street at Veteran's Park.
