Lynn and Nahant Roadway, The half-way Tree
postmarked 1906

The Half-Way Tree in Lynn, Massachusetts, in the early 1900s was a well-known landmark located along Boston Street. It marked the halfway point between Salem and Boston, serving as a resting spot for travelers, particularly in colonial times. By the early 20th century, it remained a local point of pride and historical interest, though the original tree had long since died and was replaced with a commemorative marker.
