This tree towers majestically above Old Stonehouse Road and surrounding fields and has been set aside as an unofficial mini 'park' by the local Township. The tree appears to technically be on the road right-of-way, but a plaque & bench have been placed nearby for visitors - the only thing missing is parking. A visitor can pull off onto the road shoulders, but there are no special accommodations to do so.
