Standing for an estimated 250 years, Dade City's historic Heritage Oak has witnessed the growth of our community and the history of our nation. As part of the America 250 Celebration, the Dade City Garden Club is leading a community effort to place a permanent Living Memorial plaque at this remarkable tree.
The plaque will commemorate the Heritage Oak's significance and preserve its story for future generations.
The project includes:
Design and fabrication of a permanent commemorative plaque
Professional installation at the Heritage Oak site
Educational information about the tree's connection to Dade City and America's history
Community support will make this project possible.
All donations are restricted exclusively to the Heritage Oak Plaque Project and will be used only for plaque fabrication, installation, and related project expenses.
The Dade City Garden Club serves as the nonprofit fiscal agent for this community initiative and will oversee collection of contributions and payment of project costs.
Born the year America declared independence, this Southern Live Oak stands as a lasting symbol of Dade City's strength, endurance, and heritage.
Together, we can honor its story and preserve it for future generations.
Thank you for helping us reach our goal! Every dollar helps.
