The tree is a historical landmark.
The kids had a blast climbing all over its massive roots.
The tree was planted in 1880 and is a fig tree from Australia.
There is a gazebo and huge planters also on the property.
I really enjoyed sharing this beautiful tree with the kids.
After lunch we wanted to continue our investigating, and found Rubel Castle, also in Glendora.
It's an old structure, very castle-like that Mr. Rubel built himself out of bottles, pieces of metal, rocks, and quite frankly.....junk!
You have to make an appointment for a tour, but we were able to see some of the architecture from the outside walls.
The bell/clock tower was very interesting....the clock has animal symbols rather than numbers.
Heather pointed this out to the children.
I think she enjoyed it as much as the kids.
What a treat our little field trip was! We have plans to go again to some other points of interest near home!
