The centuries-old “Charter Oak,” which blew down in a storm in 1856, remains a treasured state symbol.
The charter remained in colonial custody and was used to govern Connecticut until 1818. Captain Joseph Wadsworth supposedly squirreled the document away in the trunk of a nearby white oak tree. When light was restored, the parchment had vanished. After the governor demanded the charter, the candles in the room suddenly blew out.
According to legend, the king’s royal governor, Sir Edmund Andros, met with colonial leaders in a Hartford meeting house soon after his arrival in 1687.
The colonists of Connecticut, however, had no desire to turn over the document and relinquish the limited autonomy that it granted. Charter Oak (Hartford, Connecticut)Īfter England’s King James II assumed the throne, he sought to revoke the royal charter issued to Connecticut in 1662 by his predecessor and late brother, King Charles II. The tree, however, remained rooted and regrew from the base, and it continues to blossom and produce fruit today. When the “gravity tree” blew down in a storm in 1820, trinkets were made from its wood. The plunging fruit led him to muse about the forces at work and led to his discovery of the law of universal gravitation. According to the story, Isaac Newton told his friends and biographers, the physicist and mathematician were sitting in the garden of his birthplace, Woolsthorpe Manor, on a late summer day in 1666 when he saw an apple fall from one of his trees.
