Wellsburg's Giant Sycamore
This giant Sycamore tree stands at the top of the Wellsburg Wharf it was planted in the early years of the 19th century by Dr. Albert Wheeler who practiced medicine in Wellsburg until his death in 1864.
It was under this tree that militiamen gathered in 1863 when the Confederate General Morgan led his cavalrymen on a sweep into the state of Ohio.
Many of the deeds of Wellsburg property are measured from this tree.
Marker is at the intersection of Main Street and 6th Street, on the right when traveling south on Main Street.
