Circumference
77 ft . Height 13 ft. • Doorway 6 1/2 ft. by 5 ft.
This
particular Coast Redwood Tree (sequoia sempervirens) was
a highlight in the Forestry Building at the Pan American
Exposition, in 1901, in Buffalo. This tree was cut
on Eel River in Humboldt County, in California on February
14, 1893.
 To
cut and remove the tree in section, a cost of $10,000.00
was incurred at the time.
Due
to its large circumference and size, it makes it one of
the largest trees ever cut down in the world.
 It
is a room-style, walk-in reconstruction of an unusually
large specimen that was cut in the late 19th
century and formerly displayed in the Niagara Falls Museum.This
piece is definitely worthy of a significant position in
a leading natural history museum. It is unique at this time
in history as it it believed that there are only a few or
no such displays now in existence.
