Gardner Mansion and Largest Tree
The 1880 mansion is the former home of Jefferson Gardner, principal chief of the Choctaws, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Still standing on the grounds near the mansion is a 2,000 plus-year-old bald cypress tree, once believed to be one of the largest trees east of the Rockies.
