Highway Tree Planting

One of the first comprehensive highway tree planting projects in Illinois is along this route which leads to the New Salem State Park. The planting, which was completed in 1934, was sponsored by the Women's Horner Clubs of Sangamon County.

Marker is at the intersection of Illinois Route 29 and Jeffries Road, on the left when traveling north on State Route 29.
