Auburn's Trail of Historically Significant Trees
This trail was created by the City of Auburn Tree Commission and the Auburn Parks and Recreation Department. The trees planted along the trail were grown from seeds from historically significant trees. Most were purchased from American Forests, but some are also local favorites, like a tree that grew from an acorn from one of the Toomer's Corner live oaks. Each tree has a sign describing the history of the tree it is grown from.
The trailhead is just across South Gay Street from Town Creek Park, at 32.5847, -85.4742.
