Tree Sculptures


One of Truro's attractions is its carved trees. When Dutch elm disease took its toll, many of the stumps were converted into historic carvings. One can get a map and follow these statues, learn something of the town's history and some of its memorable citizens, and also admire the power-saw artistry of those who carved the statues. These three seem to have been brought together for this postcard. There are over 20 of these tree sculptures throughout the town.
