This site contains quite few really large pictures and it might take awhile to load on your computer depending upon your connection speed. Welcome to a little place on earth in the United States of America in a State called Georgia and what might be considered a little City to many called Thomasville. This is a well kept secret to many as Thomasville sits quietly and patiently on a huge wealth of abundant natural resources many only dream of. Thomasville, Georgia is full of Green Oak Trees, Many Natural Plant and Greenery Species, Of course many Roses being the Rose City and a whole wealth of picturesque natural green settings that many have only dreamed of. Many are exposed to this fact in their visit to Thomasville to our Annual Rose Show, Parade & Festival. (You can click link to visit this section of our site.) Make sure you visit the Rose Show Section here on our site. It is huge with lots of color photos of Springtime fun here in the Rose City. The white Big Oak Tree Sign below is taller than an average person. This gives you an idea of the massive size of this huge old oak tree.
The Big Oak Tree Resides on a nice quiet corner that is walking distance to the downtown area of Thomasville.
If you visit Thomasville or if you even happen to live here. You probably know about a little place that is very well known to many and even a secret getaway for quite a few. It is the place known as The Big Oak Tree Park. This tree is huge. You can tell from the example picture in the lower column just how big. Notice the red arrow in bottom right of the picture pointing to the sign that you see large in the picture above. This Big Oak Tree Sign Is Quite Large. Of Course The Big Oak Tree itself is huge ! This is not just any oak tree but a tree that has stood for over two Centuries and is commemorated for it's 2+ Centennial Lifespan. It is awarded and recognized back in 1987 by the International Society For Agriculture as having lived here at the time of Signing of Our Constitution. The Tree Itself is Over 327 Years Old, WOW !
The sign reads 1787 - 1987. For one to attempt to rewind in time to 1787 when this Tree was young and to think back of the events that might have taken place. One can only imagine ? It's a real major slice of American history and a real living fixture and even an Icon for many today. The Park was historically named The Elisabeth Ireland Poe Park but is probably much better known in modern times as the Big Oak Tree Park and is owned by the Thomasville Garden Club & Maintained By The City Of Thomasville. Here is a Satellite Arial Photo of the Big Oak Tree in the park and you can tell it occupies a great deal of the block corner in it's spread. We have the streets illustrated to enhance it's placement for the picture.
Over time countless Marriage Proposals take place here at the Big Oak Tree & a very high number of Weddings as well. This Big Oak Tree is close to many and if it could only talk. One can only imagine the stories that it could share. It is quite a goal and a major ambition for many to get married at the Big Oak Tree Park. Many a bride has said I want to get married under the big oak tree. The Big Oak Tree Park is a wide open Green Space and our very well preserved gift from Mother Nature.
If you notice the sign on the left. It says "The Big Oak Tree Will Continue To Grow If We Respect Her Age. No Climbing Please" This tree has been treated with the utmost respect in modern times and the results are waiting for you to enjoy here for yourself. To stand under this tree on a warm day and take in the breeze will clear all thoughts in one's own mind. If you have been here. You can probably remember this actual view below. If you have not been here. You owe it to yourself to visit this magnificent wonder of nature.
Needless to say our time spent doing these photos was certainly a break and relief of our daily routines and when you spend only a minute or two taking in this view for yourself under this Beautiful & Grand Big Oak Tree. We think you will more than agree with our photo team on this point. Thomasville as a whole is a beautiful place to visit almost any time of the year. We look forward to bringing you more great pictures of this wonderful City as our site evolves. |
