the George Washington Baby Elm Tree, great grandchild of the famous
George Washington Elm, on the grounds of the State Capitol in Carson
City. The marker was dedicated on October 5, 1932, bearing the
inscription “Washington first took command of the American army under
the grandparent of this elm at Cambridge, Mass., July 3, 1775.” On
Arbor Day, April 24, 1959, the marker was rededicated and placed on the
tree itself. |

The tree and marker are
presently located in the parking lot behind the Blasdel Building, 209

above ground level, just outside the rear doors to the building in the
parking lot reserved for the State of Nevada Executive officers (just
behind the loading docks of the Nevada State Library & Archives
Building) . |
