Hiroshima Peace Tree
Between 2019 and 2024, forty Oregon communities, including the City of Creswell, planted a Hiroshima Peace Tree from Japan. These trees are grown from the seeds of trees that miraculously survived the bombing of Hiroshima on August 6th, 1945. Oregon currently has the largest collection of Hiroshima Peace Trees of any state or nation outside of Japan.
You can visit Creswell's Peace Tree at the 2nd Street Park behind New Hope Baptist Church.
