"Standing, as it does in a field near where North Road splits off
towards Chilmark, this tree is a landmark. A point of navigation.
It’s also been a stopping point for tour buses.
I’m sure that over the course of its life it has been photographed
hundreds of thousands of times. Even occasionally by well-know photographers.
In 1969, it was photographed by Alfred Eisenstaedt and in 1973,
one of my favorite photographers, Aaron Siskind, photographed it as well." Michael Silva

Known as the Old Oak Tree of West Tisbury. This tree is one of the most photographed landmarks here on Martha's Vineyard!!!
