Explanation:
[STC00480] An interesting will was left behind by Colonel William H. Jackson, who resided in Athens, Georgia, in the year 1890. It gave Jackson’s beloved white oak tree ownership of itself as well as an eight-foot radius of land around the tree, which was located at the corner of Dearing and Finley streets on the outskirts of downtown Athens at the time. Despite the fact that under the law a tree cannot legally possess property, city officials have kept the location so that it can serve as a tourist attraction. When it was finally brought down in 1942 by a storm, the original tree had lived for more than 400 years when it died. At that location, Athens city officials decided to plant a sapling, and to this day, locals refer to it as the “Son of the Tree that Owns Itself.”
