(Printed verso reads: "THE BOUNDARY OAK, ABRAHAM LINCOLN NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK. This ancient White Oak is the sole survivor of all that was living here at the time of Abraham Lincoln's birth, February 12, 1809. This tree was a landmark at the time the earliest settlers came to this region. It is mentioned as a boundary marker in the original 1805 survey of the tract that later became the Thomas Lincoln Farm. The tree is 6 feet in diameter, about 90 feet tall, has a spread of 115 feet, and is estimated to be 300 years old.")
