Review:
In the 1930s there was a spike of ancient wood service stations and the World's Largest Redwood Tree Service Station in Ukiah happens to be the largest in the world. The service station was constructed using a 1,500-year-old tree from a nearby coastal redwood forest. This tree was 250 feet tall and 81 feet in circumference before it was chopped down in 1936 and transported to the town to be assembled into a service station that locals lovingly call “the Stump”. Though it no longer dispenses gas, it is a popular tourist attraction and houses a small self-guided museum. Visitors will be able to see the vintage pumps under its canopy, old oil cans, assorted signs, an old cash register, historical photographs and newspaper clippings, and other memorabilia.
