1. The Liberty Tree Marker
The original Liberty Tree, a stately elm, was a rallying point for pre-revolutionary activities. The open space under its branches was called "Liberty Hall" and a flag pole was erected through its branches with a hoisted flag the symbol for action.
Countless inflammatory cartoons and verses were nailed to its trunk and many Tories hung in effigy from its branches. Perhaps its proudest moment was the repeal of the Stamp Act when innumerable lanterns blazed among its branches for all to see.
For more information about The Liberty Tree, please see the plaque at its base.
