Honesty is the best policy. --English Proverb
At 1.3 miles down the road to Sinnickson, a trail starts off into the woods on the right and wanders a hundred yards to The Old Tree, a giant poplar probably more than tree centuries old. Generations of locals have carved their names and initials into its trunk, which is 15 or more Boy scouts in diameter at its base. The tree, dwarfing all others around it, may be more easily seen from the road now that the surrounding timber has been cut.

OFF 13 is a great book for those who wish to learn more about the history of the Eastern Shore of Virginia, especially the individual towns and historic landmarks. A must for any historian of such an area with so little written literature pertaining to its rich heritage.
