Beall Black Walnut – Heritage Tree
In 1863, on this site, Robert Vinton Beall, an Oregon Trail pioneer and relative to four Maryland governors, built one of the first frame buildings in Jackson County, a Gothic Revival house that is listed on the National Historic Register.

In 1864, Robert Beall planted this Illinois black walnut to commemorate his marriage to Ann Maria Riddle.
