About the Project
The 250th SAR Liberty Tree Program was launched at the Spring 2023 Leadership meeting. Our goal is to plant 250 Liberty Trees before July 4, 2026, with at least one tree in each state. Every tree is installed with a dedication plaque to educate the public about the American Revolution and the sacrifices made to form our nation.
Trees are recommended to be planted in counties or cities named after a Patriot, or in locations serving as tributes to veterans.

The Original Liberty Tree
The Liberty Tree (1646–1775) was a famous elm that stood in Boston near Boston Common. In 1765, colonists staged the first act of defiance against the British government at this tree. It became a rallying point for the growing resistance, and the ground surrounding it became known as Liberty Hall.
In 1775 the British felled the tree to quell these revolutionary gatherings. Today we plant new Liberty Trees to honor that legacy.
Tree cost: ~$150 (Princeton Elm, free shipping). Sponsors may receive a certificate of thanks.
