Shakespeare spoke of tongues in trees. Oh, what tales New Jersey’s historic trees could tell. On the Cranford campus of Union County College near the Sperry Observatory is a historic tree grove born of seedlings from some of the nation’s most historic trees. Take a gander at tree #7, the Abraham Lincoln Overcup Oak, grown from a seed of the tree that graces the yard of our 16th President’s boyhood home. Tree #10, the Berkeley Plantation White Ash, represents several seminal events in colonial history in Virginia: two signers of the Declaration of Independence were born at the Plantation, which also boasts the first three-story brick structure in America. Other notables include the Antietam Sycamore, Gettysburg Address Honey Locust, Wilbur and Orville Wright Red Cedar and Sergeant Alvin York Tulip Poplar.
