1634 "The President's Trees" Marker 1934
Washington D.C.
Dedicated by Maryland State Society
Daughters of the American Revolution, April 21, 1934. Growing on land that was once a part of Maryland and was in 1790 her gift to the United States of America for the national capitol, the 31 trees in this group have been dedicated to our 31 presidents by the 31 chapters of the Maryland D. A. R. as a part of the tercentenary celebration of the founding of the state. Soil from Maryland's historic spots have been placed at the base of each tree. |
