The Sycamore Tree

(Old Two Notch Rd.) U.S. Hwy. 1, 4 mi. E of Lexington

Front inscription

This tree was planted from a cutting of the old sycamore tree that stood several hundred feet west of here on the historic Two Notch Road. Local tradition holds that a succession of sycamore trees had been at that site and used as a landmark or point of reference since the road was an Indian path and also that George Washington rested there in 1791.
