The original ten trees were furnished by Stan Lemaster, an engineer at General Electric in Louisville, KY., and Theodore Klein, a nursery man from Crestwood, KY. Lemaster started growing trees from seeds, saplings or cuttings gathered from their famous ancestors as a backyard hobby in 1966 and was later joined by Klein, whose hobby was photographing historic trees.
Trees traceable to over 50 historic figures or events have been propagated and made available to communities throughout the world.
