The tree on the logo is the Shanks Oak tree, one of the oldest trees in the area. The Shanks Oak Tree is a landmark tree on the Tennessee Urban Forestry Council’s Historic and Heritage Tree Registry. It was nominated for distinction by John Shanks, Jr., whose family bought the property on the west end of Main Street where the tree is located. The earliest known reference to the tree appears in property deeds from the late 1800s. Sometimes referred to as “Jonesborough’s oldest resident,” the oak tree is believed to be between 500-800 years old.  ]]> 2020-04-13 17:10:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jspiker10/fpior5322v42jnfs/wish/504922375
