			HISTORICAL GROVE Located inside Johnstone Park

		(From PSO) "On April 26, 2006, the City of Bartlesville and PSO jointly planted a dozen tree seedlings creating the 'Historic Grove" in Bartlesville's Johnstone Park. Each tree will soon be marked with a plaque that lists the species and history. The 4-foot and 5-foot tall seedlings were cut from historic trees located across the United States and nurtured so that once placed in the ground they will grow to maturity and create a visual history lesson for the community".
