Tricentenniel Tree

An American sycamore, aka American planetree, Platanus occidentalis had been on this site for over 300 years.

The beloved tree was taken down in the early 2000s and a cross section of the tree is preserved in the Activities Building.

This tree had seen George Washington pass by and may have been planted by the Lenape people, who would plant sycamores to mark nearby water sources. Its great white bark is thus a harbinger of life and hope.

A stone slab for mounting horses used to be here.
