Stands Tall Points the Way: The American Indian Trail Marking Tree – Warrenton

Event Details

If only trees could talk, what amazing stories this one could tell. The beautiful bent oak tree found in Warrenton was most likely shaped by Osage Indians over 200 years ago. As the Indians traveled, they bent saplings along trails to show the location of springs and other sources of water. Several of these trees have been found in the Warren County area. Join us for this very special presentation with retired teacher, Karen Wright. We are pleased to present this event with the Warren County Historical Society. Program is offsite at the History Museum, 102 W. Walton St. RSVP today!
