From that moment on it became known as the \u201cLiberty Tree.\u201d  It stood in silent witness to countless meetings and celebrations and became the rallying place for the Sons of Liberty.  The Tea Party was born there.   In August 1775, as a last act of revenge, British soldiers cut it down because it bore the name \u201cLiberty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>The New Liberty Tree<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Liberty Tree Society, sponsored by Elm Research Institute, is an organization dedicated to  the celebration of the \u201cLiberty Tree\u201d\u2026 the story of America\u2019s first Declaration of Independence. Influential men like Sam Adams and John Hancock were members of the \u201cSons of Liberty\u201d. They often met beneath the sheltering branches of a great American elm, known as the \u201cLiberty Tree\u201d. There they planned the rebellion which became the Revolution. Their flag, the Liberty Tree Flag, was flown from the \u201cLiberty Tree\u201d during their meetings. To date Liberty Tree Society has established over 500 Memorials in 42 states to commemorate the role of the Liberty Tree.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the Liberty Tree Memorial?<\/strong><br \/>\nThis memorial consists of a 6 to 14 ft. tall American Liberty Elm, ready for planting; a bronze plaque, telling the story of the original \u201cLiberty Tree\u201d, with room for customized message of dedication.
