OVERVIEW
A solitary oak standing in an open field off Mountain Road in the Martinsville section of Bernards Township, long scarred by attempts to cut it and a fixture of central New Jersey folklore.
REPORTED ACTIVITY
Legend holds the tree is cursed, with those who disrespect it said to meet misfortune; storytellers claim snow will not settle around its base, though no documented history supports the darker tales attached to it.
VISITING
Stands on open land; viewable from the roadside, on private property nearby.
