Lone Tree Monument, Stone monument in Central Nebraska, US
The Lone Tree Monument stands as a granite structure shaped like a tree trunk, commemorating a historic cottonwood that served as a landmark.
The original cottonwood tree marked this location from 1833 until 1865, guiding travelers along the Mormon Trail and Omaha-Fort Kearny stage route.
Native American councils and pioneer gatherings took place at this location, making it a central point for different communities in the region.
