| In 1775 a small seed sprouted in a dark forest in northern New York State. Now that sprout is an extraordinary sugar maple tree, still flourishing in the area where it has stood for more than two hundred years. From the days of the American Revolution and the Civil War to the present day, this ageless maple has provided natural protection, shade, and shelter for all its neighbors. It remains today a source of exquisite beauty and unique living history unlike any other. Bruce Hiscock, who earned a Ph.D. in chemistry from Cornell, lives in a house he built with trees that he cut and peeled and then carried from his woods. |
