Wye Oak State Park
In 1941, a 460 year old Oak Tree was chosen as Maryland’s State Tree. It is after this tree that the Wye Oak State Park is named. In 2002, during a storm this tree was knocked down. Adjacent to the location of this tree is a restored small brick structure that is identical to a colonial one-room school house.
