Sacred Oak, Ancient oak tree in Oley Valley, Pennsylvania.
The Chinkapin Oak stands 73 feet tall with a 21-foot girth and a 118-foot spread in a grove off Friedensburg Road.
Native Americans of the Lenni Lenape tribe acknowledged this oak as a spiritual site for more than 480 years before European settlement.
The Delaware Indians designated this tree as a shrine, visiting it regularly to seek guidance and spiritual assistance during difficult times.
The Sacred Oak remains on private property with restricted access limited to two annual visits during spring and mid-fall seasons.
Following a lightning strike in 2001, tree care specialists implemented specific preservation methods to maintain the health of this 500-year-old oak.
