The Liberty Tree (1646-1775) was famous elm tree that stood in Boston near Boston Common, in the year before the American Revolution. In 1765, colonists in Boston staged the first act of defiance against the British government at the tree.The tree became a rallying point for the growing resistance to the rule of Britain over the American colonies, and the ground surrounding it became known as Liberty Hall. In 1775 the British had enough of these rebellious rallies at the Liberty Tree and had it cut down.
The 250th SAR Liberty Tree Program was rolled out at the Spring 2023 Leadership meeting by the NSSAR History 250 Committee the goal of planting 250 Liberty Trees for the 250th. Anniversary with at least one tree in each state on or before July 4, 2026. We feel with by planting a Liberty Tree that it will help educate the public of the importance of the American Revolution and the sacrifices that were made to become our nation. Trees are installed with a dedication plaque. It is recommended that the Liberty Trees be planted in counties or cities name after a
Patriot or in a location that will serve as a tribute to veterans.
