Athens Historical Society to rededicate 'Moon Tree' at Friday ceremony

The event is open to the public.
The tree grew from a seed that flew aboard Apollo 14 during a lunar mission in 1971.
The loblolly pine was planted in 1976 by the Sertoma Club as part of the nation’s bicentennial celebration. A marker designating the tree as a “Moon Tree” was installed, but over the years it disappeared.
Now, a new marker stands at the tree, one of many trees NASA offered as seeds to cities and organizations across the nation.
The idea to take seeds from five species of trees aboard the moon mission came from astronaut Stuart Roosa, who piloted the command module while astronauts Alan Shepard and Edgar Mitchell walked on the moon.
