Liberty Tree Plaza
Liberty Tree Plaza commemorates the public space where ordinary people gathered to bring about extraordinary change. Across Washington Street stood the stately elm that was know between 1765 and 1775 as "Liberty Tree." It served as a rallying point for colonists protesting the British imposed Stamp Act in 1765 and became an important symbol of their cause. These "Sons of Liberty" began the struggle that led to the Revolutionary War and American Independence. |
