Review:

Visitors to Brookings can seize the opportunity to admire one of the largest trees in the world. Located on Museum Road, next door to the Chetco County Historical Society Museum, the enormous Blake Monterey Cypress was planted back in 1857 by Harrison Blake. Over the decades the tree has grown and grown and it now has a circumference of more than 34 feet and has reached a height of 130 feet. Local legend has it that the spirit of Mr. Blake lives in the tree. For many years the Blake Cypress held the distinction of being the largest Monterey Cypress tree in the world, until it was overtaken by an even larger Monterey Cypress in California.
