High winds topple legendary Wedding Tree
“It is near the tracks of the Old Slow
and Easy, not far from a former
Calapooya Indian campground. If you
see a strangely shaped fi r tree, whose
limbs dip to the ground and then rise
skyward for form a sharp ‘V,’ you have
seen the Indian Wedding Tree...”
C/O COTTAGE GROVE PUBLIC WORKS
The passage above, from an article written decades ago, describes a tree on the Row River Trail that served as the main character in local folklore and tradition. On Sunday, June
17, a windstorm knocked the tree down, ending a local legend. The Wedding Tree served as a landmark and the story goes that Native Americans split the tree prior to their
marriage and believed that if the tree survived the damage, their marriage would last the duration of their lives.
