Donner Camp Tree

Near this spot stood the tree that marked what was believed to be the campsite of the family of George Donner in the winter of 1846. The tree stood for 150 years after the Donner families camped in Alder Creek before it succumbed to Mother Nature in the winter of an unspecified year. Descendants of the Donner families planted and dedicated this tree in gratitude and loving memory of their ancestors.
