HISTORY BRANCHES OUT Established in 1989, the Living Heritage Museum features trees rooted in the past and connected to famous people of events.
The original ten trees were furnished by Stan LeMaster, an engineer at General Electric in Louisville, KY., and Theodore Klein, a nursery man from Crestwood, KY. LeMaster started growing trees from seeds, saplings or cuttings gathered from their famous ancestors as a backyard hobby in 1966 and was later joined by Klein, whose hobby was photographing historic trees.
Trees traceable to over 50 historic figures or events have been propagated and made available to communities throughout the world.
The Putnam County Historical Society is grateful to the following whose generous donations helped make this museum possible.
The Putnam County Garden Club
Putnam-Sullivan Legal Secretaries
The Family of Dr. L.W. McDonald
The Family of Mr & Mrs Loran Rennells
Rick, Katy, Bess & Annie Ingersoll
Mr & Mrs John W. Gillum
Comstock Funeral Home
