When is a tree at a rural intersection not just a tree?
When it's the International World War Peace Tree, a linden to the southwest of Darmstadt, Indiana, marking the armistice that ended the First World War.
It's a touching reminder of an optimistic time.

BROOKLYN BOTANIC GARDENS HAD A RATHER
MAJESTIC STAND OF MAPLE TREES PLANTED ON
ARMISTICE DAY 1918 THEY WERE ONLY RECENTLY CUT DOWN ALSO MANY STREET TREES WERE PLANTED IN MEMORY OF SOLDIERS
KIA THEY USED TO HAVE SMALL BRASS MEMORIAL PLAQUES IN THE SIDE WALK BY THE
TREE INDICATING NAME RANK SERVICE HIS DATES AND THE PLACE WHERE HE WAS KILLED
NOT MANY HAVE SURVIVED SINCE THEY WERE PLANTED
Interesting. I pass near it everyday going to work and never knew it was there. Have to stop and look this weekend. Thanks
