Missouri's grand champion McBaine Bur Oak is known to most of central Missouri as simply "The Big Tree." This famous Quercus macrocarpa is a frequent stop for anybody in the Columbia area as a chance to get away from the city and get a taste of the country. Students from the University of Missouri have been making the quick drive down Highway K to marvel at its vast canopy and monstrous trunk. Hear the history of the tree from 5th-generation owner John Sam Williamson. At more than 350 years old the tree has seen it all. With being just a stone's throw from the Missouri River, it is possible even Lewis and Clark seen it. It is also just off of the famous Katy Trail.
