Since then over thirty historical trees have been planted near the amphitheater at what is known as the Colonel Sander's pavilion. Sander's was best known for being the creator of Kentucky Fried Chicken.
There was a Klein-1 holly tree planted in 1992 in honor of nurseryman Theodore Klein who is credited with creating this variety of holly. At the same ceremony Stan Lemaster dedicated a tree for the five residents of the county who became Rhodes scholars. The Klein holly was surrounded by five rows of crimson barberry bushes that form a star.
A newspaper article pictured Stan Lemaster, Theodore Klein and his wife Martha, and Jim Fegenbush and some Shelby county officials at the bicentennial ceremony.
The park erected a sign dedicating the location near the pavilion as the Jim Fegenbush Historical Tree Arboretum on June 10, 2003.
