In November 2001, the remains of Mary Jane Folsom's maple tree was cut down. It would have been planted after the Folsom house was built in 1854. Another maple was planted in its place, but it died within a few years.

What a fun surprise! Today, during Christmas at the Folsom House, the very first caretaker, LuAnn Nordeen, and her daughter came to see the house. LuAnn’s family lived here and gave tours from 1968 to 1976. What a treat to walk through the home and hear their recollections!
