Crews back at church to remove beloved 600-year-old tree
the work Wednesday but say it may continue into Thursday.
The tree has stood witness to history and milestones since the town’s inception in the 1700s. It served as a scenic backdrop for photographs and was the site of a picnic Gen. George Washington held with the Marquis de Lafayette.
It was declared dead after it began showing rot and weakness during the last couple of years.
