Post Office Oak and Museum

Council Grove, KS | Morris County

Although this 270-year-old bur oak died in 1990, the mighty tree is where Santa Fe Trail travelers left messages for each other about trail conditions. Today a canopy stands over the oak's remains. The adjacent museum was originally a stone home built in 1864 that housed a commercial brewery. Inside, early medical equipment, railroad memorabilia, and a stickpin collection is displayed. Call ahead.
