Did you know...
... that today is the anniversary of the Liberty Trees? In
1999, the last of the 13 Liberty Trees, one for each of the 13
original U.S. colonies, was cut down after being severely
damaged by Hurricane Floyd. The 400-year-old tulip poplar on
the campus of St. John's College in Annapolis, Maryland,
served as a rallying point in the 1770s for colonial patriots
who desired freedom from British rule.
