The Remarkable Cedars of Historic Tuckahoe

Many older properties had long rows of trees along their entry lanes. But we know of no other place than Historic Tuckahoe where you can drive for about a half-mile and see Eastern Red Cedar on your left, and Eastern Red Cedar on your right.  Some old, some young, some in perfect health, and some holding on to life, though their trunks and branches have been broken, damaged or invaded by pests and animals. Pulling into the driveway from River Road, this long receiving line helps to create the time-warp effect that will be completed when you arrive in another century at the end of the drive.
