Old Apple Tree Park

We visited this special place because it is part of Vancouver's history. This is the oldest APPLE tree in the whole Northwest. It doesn't have blossoms or leaves on it now because winter is just getting over. Each Fall, we have a special event at the Old Apple Tree park to celebrate.

Things around it have gotten modern . . . to get to this park where the old tree grows, you have to go under the railroad bridge and just behind the tree is the modern freeway. To the left of it is a north/south freeway called Instertate 5. To the right is a LAND bridge most recently built a little over a year ago. It tells the history of Vancouver with photos on stone walls, native plants and sculpture celebrating the "bridge" between land and water importance to people who live here.It is a wonderful place for a short walk between Old Apple Tree Park and Fort Vancouver.
