Although the historical maker is sponsored by the Indian Mills Historical Society, some maps have this listed as Vincentown and Shamong as well as Indian Mills. These small, unincorporated towns dot the landscape in this part of New Jersey. This marker is on the right side of the property. You will have to pass the sign and park on the opposite side of this desolate road to get access to the marker. Many of the markers, including this one, recall the original Indian population which settled this site first. This marker recalls one of their traditions. The marker is marked number eleven on the Indian Mills Historical Society website. All the signs are green, made of metal and have the historical society name marked at the top in an arc. The sign reads:
TREATY TREE
Age old traditions recall the
Assemblyman (1871-73), Township
site of a fallen mulberry tree
nearby as a gathering place of
reservation Indians.
