The Allegany County Library System proudly unveiled the National Road Heritage Tree display in the LaVale Library hallway. This unique exhibit showcases a slice of a 366-year-old white oak that once stood along the historic National Road in LaVale, Maryland, a vital artery of American history known as “the road that built the nation.” This collaborative effort was funded and prepared by the LaVale Civic Improvement Association, the LaVale Lions Club, the Allegany County Forestry Board, and the Allegany County Library System.
