Tree That Owns Itself - Historical place in Athens - 277 S Finley St, USA

I was happy to see people took time to rescue the tree. Was great to see that part of town cause it was so old. Also the concept of the tree owning its self. Makes me curious if every acorn that sprouts from it, would be entitled to its own rights as well. If so people should plants more of it.

Good looking tree. Incredible concept and history. Bumpy, old-fashioned cobblestone road to get there. The whole experience took about 5 mins.

What a beautiful area,the weather was amazing! Always wanted to visit this tree, which is definitely worth the visit! We parked off the street and walked over,took some pictures! The houses are simply gorgeous! The little cobblestone street is very pretty.

This was a fun side quest. The tree and the 8 feet around it seem to be doing well, even in winter. Easy to find, maps takes you right there. Interesting stop and a little jealous of the tree getting its own space and owning itself!

If you have a connection to trees, like I do, this will make you philosophical & in awe. It's a beautiful tree and a reminder that anything is possible. I wrote a book about talking to the trees, so of course, had to visit this iconic and special tree.

Protect more trees from aggressive car-centric development.

Every tree should own itself and live out its natural life span. When you’re cutting down the planet’s lungs what do you think we’ll all breathe when they’re gone?

This tree is in a residential area. We got lucky and there wasn't any traffic so we hopped out and took a few pictures. Not sure if there is parking nearby but the street was lined with cars so you might be able to find parking.
