The Sycamore Tree!

Bill
Sycamore Tree
Landmark #756 Ventura County Visited: Sept. 4, 2011 Plaque?  NO. 🙁
What is it? An old sycamore tree that has served as an important meeting place and stopping point!
What makes it historical? THE GUIDE SAYS: In 1846 General John C. Frémont passed this sycamore tree on his way to sign a treaty with General Andrés Pico to secure California for annexation to the United States. The tree has served as a resting place, a polling place, a temporary post office, and an outdoor chapel.

OTHER TIDBITS: That pretty well sums it up!
