This mature Bur Oak
tree is a direct decedent of the original Council Oak
under which US government officials counciled in the 1800s
with American Indian tribes. Grown from an acorn harvested
from the Council Oak and planted by the Council Oak
Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution in
1931, this tree gives visitors to Council Grove today the
opportunity to imagine what the Council Oak might have
looked like when during Santa Fe Trail days. The tree is
located one block north of the Terwillinger House at the
corner of Adams and Columbia streets.
