text:"Maple Tree by tradition on this site was a blazed maple tree in 1786 spared when an Indian trail was widened into wagon road. Town of Newark Valley"
from website:"Our present Main Street was then only an Indian trail, leading from the Susquehanna to the Onondaga salt springs. Trees had to be cut down and a “good wagon road” for ox teams had to be opened before settlers and their families could come in. Four maple trees were left standing and there is a marker on Main Street today showing where the last one stood."
