Wellsburg's giant sycamore stands at the top of the Wellsburg Wharf. It was planted in the early years of the 19th century by Dr. Albert Wheeler, who practiced medicine in Wellsburg until his death in 1864. In 1863, militiamen gathered under the tree when Confederate General Morgan led his cavalrymen on a sweep into the state of Ohio. Many deeds for Wellsburg property are measured from this tree.
