This Is What Lives of a Pear Tree Planted in 1846 - Meadow Farm - Glen Allen, VA
It still produces fruit and they are taking very good care of it to allow it to live many more years. I've never seen a fruit tree with such a huge trunk.

George and Martha - Not Sure Which Is Who - Ossabaw Island Hogs - Meadow Farm - Glen Allen, VA
The original Ossabaw Hogs are descended from swine released on the island in the 16th century by Spanish explorers. A breeding population has been established on American farms off the island, but they remain a critically endangered variety of pig. Hernando DeSoto brought a herd of hogs with him on his trip through the southeast in the 1540's. The purpose was to have an easy source of meat when they would return on another voyage.

George or Martha - Not Sure Which Is Who - Ossabaw Island Hogs - Meadow Farm - Glen Allen, VA
They were named this because they are of the genetic stock that George Washington had at Mount Veronon and they are still there. Typically black, they also come in gray, tan, red, and, occasionally, white. They have thick coats, upright ears, and long snouts. In their natural habitat, they rarely exceed 20 inches in height or 100 pounds. Their demeanor is different from that of modern pigs.
