In March 2006 in historic Sturbridge, Massachusetts, the oldest tree in town was cut down due to poor health.
The 112 foot Sugar Maple stood adjacent to the town common, and "witnessed" events for the past 230-240 years. Those events include the gathering of Sturbridge Minutemen in 1775, which practiced military exercises on the common, and was probably standing for the historic visits of Paul Revere and Gen. Lafayette.
This 18" high peppermill is an everlasting piece of history to enjoy every day
