Lone Cedar Tree
The Lone Cedar Tree is a historical monument located in Salt Lake City, Utah. According to Mormon Pioneers, it was the location of the only tree growing in the valley in 1847 when they arrived. On July 4, 1933, the Daughters of Utah Pioneers erected the monument to honor the Mormon heritage and history of Salt Lake City.
A plaque on the monument reads "The street to the north was originally Emigration Road - the only approach from the East. Over this road the pioneers of 1847 and subsequent years entered the valley of the Great Salt Sea. They found growing near this site a lone cedar and paused beneath its shade. Songs were sung and prayers of gratitude offered by those early pilgrims. Later the cedar tree became a meeting place for the loggers going to the canyons, children played beneath its branches, lovers made it a trysting place. Because of its friendly influence on the lives of these early men and women we dedicate this site to their memory."〔http://heritage.utah.gov/apps/history/markers/detailed_results.php?markerid=2467〕
On the evening of September 21, 1958, vandals cut away the remaining trunk on the memorial, leaving only a flat stump. The monument is still standing.
It is located on 600 East between 300 and 400 south, near downtown Salt Lake City.
