George Washington and the cherry tree is a tale that has passed down through many generations.

The story is mentioned in a new historical marker that was installed at the Weems-Botts Museum in Dumfries.

Located at 3944 Cameron Street, the museum is run by Historic Dumfries Virginia, which seeks to preserve Dumfries’ history.

Historic Dumfries Virginia and the Town of Dumfries hosted a dedication and ceremony on Monday.

Mason Lock Weems — one of the individuals that the Weems-Botts Museum was named after — and George Washington are recognized in the marker, which was donated by the Mary Elizabeth Conover Foundation.

Weems included the cherry tree legend in the fifth edition of his book, A history of the Life & Death, Virtues & Exploits of General George Washington.
