Acer saccharinum

Arborists determined the hollow limbs of the tree were a liability for people walking under it. In 2013, the arms were cut leaving a stump and trumpet vine. The story of the tree lives below:

This Silver maple, remarkable for its age and size, was planted around 1860 to provide shade for the adjacent log cabin. This historic cabin served as the store for the pioneer-era stagecoach stop that operated here for many years. The silver maple has enhanced the grounds of Seven Oaks Farm for five generations, providing shade and respite to customers, school children, farm workers, community members, and five generations of the Bohnhert family.
