You may not have noticed this important piece of American history on display at Silver Dollar City. It is a tree with a plaque that identifies it with the American Revolution. The plaque explains that the tree growing on that spot is the "16th descendant of the last original Liberty Tree..." Only three of these trees grow outside the original 13 colonies: in fact, only three are located in places that celebrate the spirit of America. Even the original tree from which this one was sprouted is gone, destroyed by Hurricane Floyd in 1999.
