Gone with the wind
We didn't count the rings, but we are betting this tree is a centurian. The Buckeye fell during the June 29 severe wind storm. Accompaying this story is a video, which involves a walk around the tree.
Also accompanying this story is a photo taken Oct. 31, 1900, at the dedication of College Hall. there are several trees in the photo. This one would have been small. We can't claim to see it in this photo, but perhaps other Icon viewers see it.
