A centuries-old live oak associated with Sam Houston beside the historic Braches House — a compelling mix of monumental tree shapes and vernacular architecture. Best visited at golden hour (sunrise or late afternoon) for warm side-lighting that sculpts the oak's massive limbs. Site is roadside on CR 361 with informal parking; expect limited facilities and rural access (truck or car OK). Weekdays and off-season reduce visitors. Respect private property signs and local rules; the site’s historic/c
