The Angel Oak sits on Johns Island at 3688 Angel Oak Road, near Charleston, South Carolina. It dates back over 500 years. It stands less than 70 feet tall and was present in 1717, when a land grant was made. Roughly 500,000 visitors visit the grounds every year. Through the years, this tree has survived the Revolutionary and Civil Wars, hurricanes, the 1886 Charleston Earthquake, and floods. It is the oldest living thing east of the Rocky Mountains.
