Trading Post Oak
View down hill towards a woman standing with her arms outstretched and with her back against the trunk of a tall red oak near Lake Mendota. A car is sitting on the driveway behind the tree, and another is in the foreground. Houses are in the background. A bronze plaque mounted on a granite boulder near the tree commemorates the "Site of the Rowan-St Cyr fur-trade post, 1832-1837." |
