2
This white oak tree is the offspring of a mighty white oak that stood in Hanover County, Virginia, for more than 400 years before Hurricane Isabel destroyed it in 2003. History relates that the earlier tree provided shade for Robert E. Lee and his staff during the Civil War. This tree is a gift of Mr. Glenn Gray of Surry County, Virginia.
