The Friendship Oak has watched over the Gulf Coast since the late 1400s. It has seen storms, weddings, students, and countless visitors pause beneath its branches.
Have you ever stood beneath something older than America?
On the campus of the University of Southern Mississippi’s Gulf Park in Long Beach, you can do exactly that. Rising from the front lawn overlooking the Gulf of Mexico is one of Mississippi’s most beloved living landmarks — a sprawling live oak that has quietly watched more than five centuries of Gulf Coast history unfold.
