Victory Way Norway Maple

Posted on: February 14th, 2025 in Heritage Tree Details |

Acer platanoides

In 1923, volunteers planted 250 Norway maple trees along Spruce Street and “S” Avenue to commemorate the end of the First World War. Called Victory Way, this tree-lined parkway stretched from downtown to Riverside Park. In 1998, volunteers planted a variety of new trees along Victory Way to enhance the parkway’s historic value and restore its tree-lined appearance.
