THE LIBERTY TREE
Rehoboth, Massachusetts





Just another historical site that

we've come across in our travels.





Sign Reads:
During the American Revolution, a large white oak called "the Liberty Tree" stood near this place, which was then the edge of a field. Beacons warning of trouble in Rhode Island could be seen by watchers at nearby Horton's Signal. After recieving an alarm from the watchmen, Rehoboth's Minutement assembled here before responding to British attacks.
