Seeing Treaty Oak
There is a bit of beauty and wonder waiting for you in the heart of Austin, Texas. It is called the Treaty Oak tree and it has a long and interesting history that is really worth hearing about. The Treaty Oak is located right on Baylor Street in between 5th and 6th Streets in a beautiful area just perfect for visiting.
The Treaty Oak tree is really special for a number of different reasons. This tree has actually been told to have been growing for over five hundred years throughout all different types of weather in the tricky Texas climate. It is thought to be the only surviving tree of a group of fourteen trees that had been planted long ago. Years and years have found this Treaty Oak to be a temple of worship for several tribes of Indian including the Tonkowas and the Comanches.
Around 1989 or 1990, the large, beautiful oak tree had unfortunately been poisoned. Since then, there has been a large movement underway called the Treaty Oak Project that has been geared to preserving and protecting the wonderful natural specimen. The Treaty Oak project strives to memorialize the tree so it can live on for many years as a part of the wonderful history of Austin, Texas.
