The Historical Door Tree

The Door Tree has been the pride of Hamden, Connecticut for over two centuries. This great, extraordinary oak was first photographed in 1898 and has since become famous thanks to its unique shape of an arched doorway. It became a pride of the town, and was even featured on the popular show Believe It or Not!

Unfortunately, we all know that people can be cruel to nature, and this one-of-a-kind tree, like many other aspects of nature which man kind has ruined over time, was destroyed. A man cut it down with a chainsaw just to spite his brother, and as the picture shows, its memory was lost with it.
