Enjoy California Redwoods in the heart of Colonial Williamsburg. Take a seat and appreciate their majestic beauty.
These two large coast redwoods (Sequoia sempervirens) were shipped to the College from California and planted as cuttings in 1953. The northern tree lost a large limb during a 2002 windstorm and the southern tree lost its top during Hurricane Isabel in 2003. The debris was saved and crafted into something both practical and unique: the bench now located between the two trees.
There are a few things to be aware of:
1.) There may be stinging insect nests in the area, so of course search with caution.
2.) Two-hour parking is available on nearby Richmond Road.
3.) DO NOT ALTER THE AREA! This is a historic area and finding the cache does not require you to destroy anything.
When you're done, head over to the Blair Family Garden (three statues behind wall). Walk to the center of the intersecting lines on the pathway facing the middle statue. Now turn and face the wall of the building while remaining on the center of these lines. Talk and be amazed!
