"This ancient White Oak is the sole survivor of all that was living here at the time of Abraham Lincoln's birth, February 12, 1809. This tree was a landmark of the time the earliest settlers came to this region. It is mentioned as a boundary marker in the original 1805 survey, of the tract that later became the Thomas Lincoln farm.
The tree is 6 feet in diameter, about 90 feet tall, has a spread of 115 feet, and is estimated to be 300 years old."
