1. Daniel's Landing Oak Marker

Inscription. The venerable Daniel's Landing Oak has stood on the banks of the Wando since well before Columbus arrived in the New World. It has sheltered Native American coastal tribes, welcomed English Lords Proprietor, witnessed the outdoor recreation of wealthy sportsmen, seen the construction of Daniel's Landing and been a source of wonder and awe to Daniel’s Landing residents. With a circumference of 24' 9" and a canopy spanning 100', it is one of the largest single-trunked live oaks in the Lowcountry. The tree sits on the land that was once part of Robert Daniell’s Plantation.

The Daniel’s Landing Oak is a registered member of the national Live Oak Society.
Member #: 7620 • Type: Centenarian
