thomasville's historic big oak印象
-
The oak itself, as a natural landmark, is impressive, but I've heard Black residents of Thomasville see it as a place where their ancestors were unfairly persecuted (read: hanged). I can't enjoy it for that reason.

i would not travel out of my way for this, however, if you are passing through, this is a def must see. not much going on around here, but this is a good spot for pictures

Hard to believe a tree this old (planted in 1685) and this large, trunk circumference over 26 feet. It is beautiful and you can have your picture taken at the tree by a Big Oak Cam, thanks to CNS Internet.

This is an amazing tree. But if you think or have been told that this tree has a bad past then what you think or have been told is wrong. From 1906 until the 1960's this property was owned by Mr and Mrs John Albert Chastain. The Chastains raised their family in a home under this tree. Mr Chastain's mother remembers when this tree was in a pond. No one was ever hung under this tree. No one was hung in a tree that was in a pond. No doubt that many people have been hung under oak trees, but not this one. The city of Thomasville bought this property and preserved it as history in the 1960s.

This is a great Oak tree....huge, and massive right in the middle of town. I loved walking around it and imaging all the history it's seen and bread its smelled (Flowers Bakery right down the road.)

It is always a pleasure to drive by the magnificent Big Oak on the corner of Monroe and Crawford Streets. It is a huge Live Oak Tree with a small park and gazebo.

Easy to find; glorious to see. Take a lunch and enjoy the shade and sense of times past. Then walk about the town and view ante-bellum and victorian era and craftsman style homes. Lots of little cafes.

I think this is a nice, educational stop for kids and adults. Why not stop a this quaint old fashioned landmark from yesteryear for 15 minutes and relax under the shade on a quiet street.

This is Some Tree - worth seeing. We were driving by and I was stunned at the size of this amazing oak.
