Notes: This is a VERY LARGE sycamore tree located in Natural Bridge Station, Rockbridge County, on the banks of the James River at Greenlee House. It is the third largest on record for Virginia. We hope the tree will be protected from future development. The tree is adjacent to the house owned by the first woman settler in Rockbridge County: Mary Greenlee. She was the daughter of James McDowell. |
