"Witness Tree"

History
7
A fifty-five-inch-diameter sugar maple tree stood on this site, its age calculated to mean that it had been growing and serving as a witness to the town's incorporation on June 24, 1738, and to the town's subsequent history until it was removed in March 2006. This sugar maple tree was dedicated by the Sturbridge Militia as the town's new Witness Tree on June 24, 2006.
