🇺🇸🌳 THE GETTYSBURG HONEY LOCUST
Connecting Generations of American Service
The Township of Wall proudly invites the community to a special Tree Dedication Ceremony at the Harry J. Rockafeller Memorial!
As we celebrate America’s 250th Anniversary and Wall Township’s 175th Anniversary, we will dedicate a very special Gettysburg Honey Locust tree—a descendant of the historic Abraham Lincoln Honey Locust that stood in Soldiers’ National Cemetery at Gettysburg when President Abraham Lincoln delivered his famous Gettysburg Address on November 19, 1863.
🌳 Planted alongside the Rockafeller Memorial, this living tribute will create a symbolic connection between Gettysburg and the battlefields of World War II, honoring generations of Americans whose service and sacrifice helped shape our nation.
Though the original historic tree is gone, its descendants continue to grow—just as the legacy of those who served our nation lives on. 🇺🇸
