The Ellmaker Oak Tree

This tree, in Zumwalt Park, is very old and has quite a history. The Ellmaker family bought the property from the Zumwalt family and Levi Robb built a house for his bride, Frances Almeda Ellmaker right next to the Ellmaker Oak tree in 1881. The tree is estimated to be between 300-400 years old. This means that it started growing near Coyote Creek when the Kalapuya people lived in the area.

It's been a true giant, maybe a little worse for wear, but still growing. It's seen a lot of history happen, if only it could talk.v.
