While 100 of the maples still survive, the linden grove lost trees to a highway interchange project in 1950 and was generally decimated by time until a microburst in 2009 and Hurricane Irene in 2011 reduced the grove to only a couple of remaining trees. This linden is one of the few surviving ones and remains a memorial to those who have fought in war. [7][8]
