Barlow Road Tollgate Maples
Posted on: December 31st, 2024 in Heritage Tree Details |



Acer macrophyllum
These two bigleaf maple trees, one on each side of the replica tollgate, are believed to have been planted by Daniel Parker who was the tollgate keeper here from 1883 to 1902. The Barlow Road is a branch of the Oregon National Historic Trail and was opened as a toll road in 1846 by Sam Barlow and Phillip Foster. This was the western-most and last tollgate operated on the Barlow Road.
