About Wye Oak State Park

Wye Oak State Park consists of 29 acres, much of which protects the stream valley behind the park from development. This park was designed to protect the Wye Oak Tree which toppled on June 6, 2002. A pavilion containing a section fo the Wye Oak trunk and the original tree site can be viewed daily from sunrise to sunset. Standing quietly next to the Wye Oak is a 1 1/2 story brick structure dating back to colonial times that was once used as a one-room schoolhouse. The school house is believed to be the second oldest school in Talbot County. The Queen Anne Garden Club restored the "Little House," as they affectionately called it, in 1952. The foundation was strengthened, windowpanes repaired and a walkway laid. The restored interior was furnished with a schoolmaster's desk and stool, a long pine table and benches, and a dunce stool.
