The Birthing Tree
Located on Sparta Street, this tree is named for the number of children born under its shade to parents who were members of wagon trains. If an expectant mother was about to give birth, the wagon train stopped in the vicinity of the tree and her wagon pulled under it to afford her the shelter and shade it provided. The tree now stands at the edge of McMinnville on Highway 70 S East of town. The tree is very large and among the oldest in Tennessee.
