It’s Throwback Thursday: In 1912, the Museum was trying to figure out how to fit a 16-foot tree slice through a 12-foot doorway. The solution? In pieces. And if you look carefully at the giant sequoia still on display in the Museum’s Hall of North American Forests, you can see the seams where the slice was put back together. When this tree was felled by a lumber company in 1891 (which is now illegal), it was 331 feet tall. For reference, the Statue of Liberty is only 305 feet! The tree was also 1,341 years old—but that’s not that long for a sequoia, as this species can live to be 3,000 years or more. Imagine how much the world changes in a giant sequoia’s lifetime.
