Summary

See also HABS VA-1372 for related documentation.
Significance: The Brawner Farm White Oaks (Quercus alba) are significant due to their presence during the development of their namesake farm, and because of their association with the Second Battle of Bull Run during the Civil War. Although four of the five trees are dead and the fifth is in serious decline, their size and longevity were all above average for the species.
Survey number: HALS VA-16
