Frankford Tree Recognition

 On Saturday, November 19, 2011 at 2:00 p. m. the Dallas Historic Tree Coalition recognized an elm tree on the Frankford site as “a living witness to history.”  The ceremony took place near the tree, on the west bank of Hall’s Branch near the bridge.  For information about the work of DHTC, visit their website: http://dhtc.org/
