1. The Quadrangle Oak Marker
Selected second most historic tree in the area in 1976 by the San Antonio Bicentennial Committee. This tree occupied Government Hill when the Army established the Quartermaster Depot here. Like the oak, the post has grown and developed, sinking its roots deep and spreading its influence far and wide.
Erected by Fort Sam Houston Museum.
