    Default How did the Keffer Oak get it's name?

    Hello everyone,

    I did some searching about the massive Keffer Oak in Virginia. It's estimated to be about 300 years olds and between 17 and 20 feet circumference.

    However I'm interested in learning how it got it's name for a little project.

    Thanks in advance an good luck to the Class of 2015! Loner 2012

    Named for Rex Keffer, a former landowner.
    The trouble I have with campfires are the folks that carry a bottle in one hand and a Bible in the other.
    You never know which one is talking.
