MADISON, Wis. — An April snowstorm brought down a 100-year-old tree.
People don’t usually think of a tree as a landmark, but people WISC-TV spoke with said the tree was a sort of a historical record for the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
A European larch tree, the centerpiece of the university’s Allen Centennial Gardens, fell on Wednesday. The tree was bought from Door County back in 1899 when it was only 2 feet tall.
It was named after Emmett S, Goff, a professor of horticulture.
