The Panther Creek tree museum marker (near the ball fields):
Most of this information was gleaned from the Daviess County Audubon Society newsletter "The Goldfinch" which also contained the famous quote: "Too old to plant trees for my own gratification, I shall do it for posterity." Thomas Jefferson 1822.
During my research on this tree museum I found that Stan Lemaster had authored some book or pamphlet entitled "Stan Lemaster's Propagation of Historic Trees" which was evidently crammed full of tips regarding growing and caring for trees. I would love to find a copy of this out-of-print text.
