Fletcher Oak Collection | Diploma Frames | Afghans & Blankets | Baby & Children's Items Fletcher Oak CollectionIn August 2005, Sweet Briar lost the Fletcher Oak, a guardian — a friend, even — that had stood watch over the College since the first students arrived in 1906. For nearly 100 years, students, faculty and staff walked and relaxed beneath the giant northern red oak, studying under the cool shade of its canopy, taking acorns relinquished by its branches as keepsakes, marveling at its majesty. When the Fletcher Oak crashed to the ground one summer day, a week before the 100th class of new students was to arrive on campus, we grieved. We mourned its loss, we stopped by to pay our respects, we wondered how to honor this important link between the College founders and those who grew to love the great tree. Although the Fletcher Oak no longer stands sentry in front of Fletcher Hall, you can now own a piece of its legacy, thanks to artisan Pamela Rucker.
"This is to certify that this handcrafted keepsake, created by Pamela Rucker, is from the Fletcher Oak Tree that once adorned the beautiful grounds of Sweet Briar College. Its legacy still stands today."
