Liberty Elm Offered to Lenox
The citizens of Lenox have been offered a “Liberty Tree” Memorial from the nonprofit Elm Research Institute (ERI) in Keene, NH. This is a replica of the Liberty Tree of Boston; a focus of patriotic inspiration, a familiar landmark, a green and growing tribute to the birth of freedom in America. This landmark consists of a 14 ft. - 19 ft. ceremonial American Liberty Elm together with a 20” x 12” bronze tablet describing this important historic event in 1775, a framed print of the Bi-centennial Elm and Thomas Paine poem “Liberty Tree” (to be hung in a high profile location.) It will be planted at a suitable site in Lenox village
this coming spring. The cost of the Liberty Tree Memorial (including freight) is $1,635. ERI has agreed to help raise the funds.
To donate to the “Heritage Tree Fund” kindly send your donation to the Lenox National Bank,
