A familiar hang out spot for generations of alumni will officially become university property after a recent land donation by the family of Judge J.C. Robinson including Tree Rock.
The public is invited to a dedication ceremony on Friday, November 20 at 11:00 a.m.
Tree Rock has been a landmark of the main campus, located above the Muir Heights housing area, and visible to most campus residents, the large tree and the surrounding land has been property of the Robinson family until now.
“Although I did not attend WNMU, I know many people that have and Tree Rock is a special place for so many students,” said Judge Robinson. “When the opportunity came to donate the land I knew that this would be a special gesture on behalf of four generations of Robinson families in Grant County.”
A walking trail has been created from the upper Muir Heights parking lot. The ceremony will take place at the base of the tree.
Refreshments will follow the event.
