Description

An ancient sycamore tree in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, predating the state’s very name, stands as a living monument to resilience. Named after Grant Noll, who owned the land for over a century, the tree survived a devastating 1957 lightning strike that hollowed out its trunk—big enough to walk through. Yet, thanks to its thick bark and a dry strike, it thrived. Now 29 feet around and still growing, it’s a silent witness to history. Find it off Route 30 at the Centerville Road exit on Plane Tree Drive.
