Thing to Do
Challenge 3: Pat the Gingko Tree
NPS
Pause and reflect at an historic Gingko Tree.
Truman would pass by the tree on his daily walk on West Maple Street and give it a pat of admiration before moving about his day. Give the tree a pat and take a moment to admire its natural beauty as Truman did each day.
The Ginkgo tree is included as a stop on the Truman Historic Walk.
Please be mindful that the tree is on private property. A historic plaque is embedded in the sidewalk in front of this home.
