Emporium Moon Tree

Emporium, Pennsylvania

[Emporium Moon Tree Announcement]

The announcement above is from "The Bicentennial of the United States of America - A Final Report to the People", Volume 5. It indicates a Moon Tree was scheduled to be planted on the Cameron County Courthouse lawn in Emporium, Pennsylvania, on May 15, 1976. An article in the April 17, 1976 "Kane Republican" also gives a May 15 planting date, and identifies the tree as a sycamore. It states that representative Victor J. Westerberg would be the principal speaker at the ceremony. It is not known whether the planting took place as planned. Nothing further is known about the tree.
