Explore the Memorial CrossTrails


The Sewanee Herbarium is sponsoring a hike of the trails adjacent to the War Memorial Cross. The group will take short forays in the most interesting directions, as well as talk about the trees and other plants near the Cross itself.

Meet at the Cross (at the end of Tennessee Avenue) at 4 p.m., Wednesday, July 9, to join Yolande Gottfried on this moderate one-hour walk.

The War Memorial Cross was built in 1922 as a memorial to all who died in World War I. Since then, its scope has been expanded to honor the students and citizens of Sewanee who also served in our nation’s armed forces during World War II, the Vietnam War, the Korean War and Desert Storm.

The Sewanee Herbarium is involved in education, research and conservation.
It acquires and maintains a collection of pressed plant specimens with emphasis on the flora of the Sewanee Domain and adjacent counties.
