Silver Maple – Behind the Emporium

This Silver Maple tree was located behind the emporium, between tent rows. It was removed in 2014 (used in 2015 products) due to verticillium wilt.

White Ash – Near the Recreation building on South Tent Row 1 (between Rhone & Arney Ave.)

In 2014, a White Ash tree near the recreational building was cut down. It was removed due to severe insect damage. The trees dated back to 1928 and were part of the original planting to provide shade for the new tenting area. 

Silver Maple – Helen’s Perigee Place, E. Rhone Ave. 

This massive Silver Maple tree was marked to be removed in 2016. When the tree was cut down, there were 116 growth rings, which dates this tree back to the year 1900. This makes this tree one of the original trees planted alone The Midway in the early years of the grange.

Norway Maple – Jubilee Grove

In 2017, the Norway Maple that shaded Jubilee Grove was marked for removal. Initially, it was not clear what damaged this tree. However, after the tree was cut down, you could see a lightening strike had damaged this tree nearly a decade earlier. The entire inside of the tree from top to bottom was badly damaged. Unfortunately, this damage meant there was very little lumber that could be salvaged from this tree. 

Silver Maple – Hartle Street, near the goat barn

This tree was removed in 2018, due to verticillium wilt. Some of the large branches had an interesting curly figure in the grain. 

Red Oak – South 4

This Red Oak was removed in 2018 due to disease. This tree shaded tents on South 4 for nearly 100 years. On this particular piece you can see a copper wire. This is from early electric lines that had grown into the tree over the years. 

Sugar Maple – Cherry Tree Row 

This Sugar Maple grew right outside the playground fence. It was removed in 2018 due to verticillium wilt. 

Red Oak – North 10 Tent Row along Fry Street

This tree was nearly 100 years old when it was removed in 2018. It was also removed due to insect damage

Sugar Maple – Hoffer Avenue 

This tree was removed in 2019 due to verticillium wilt. It was planted in the early 1900’s.

Silver Maple – South 7 Tent Row

This Silver Maple tree shaded a few tents on South 7 tent row. Although appearing healthy, a large hollow branch broke off during the 2019 fair. The tree was then removed as a safety precaution the following year. This was my first attempt at the cross section (cookies). 

Silver Maple – South 7 Tent Row

This is the same tree that I made the cookies from. This tree was completely removed in 2022 due to insect damage. Since Silver Maple is a softer wood, they tend to be more susceptible to insect damage. These trees came down in the spring of 2022 and were drives and made for memorabilia for the 2022 Grange Fair. 

Sugar Maple – Boarding House & Glamping Tent

This tree was nearly 90 years old when it was removed in 2022. This tree was removed due to verticillium wilt. I cut this small section off the Sugar Maple to count the growth rings. Almost 90 rings and over 30″ in diameter at the base. My chainsaw has a 24″ bar on it. 

Silver Maple – Recreation Building 

This tree was removed in 2022. I was unable to salvage a lot from this tree due to a large number of nails. 

Silver Maple – Garbrick Ave

Red Oak – South 5 and 6 tent row

This tree was removed in 2022 due to insect damage. The top part of the tree was salvageable, however the lower portion was not. This part had significant staining, due to years of nails being put into the tree. The blue staining, which appears on this stump, is evidence of nails higher up in the tree. Some utensils were made out of the salvageable portion.
