I was given an old photo of the town center showing the oak trees that many were sad to see cut down. The older photo appears to have been taken in the late 1930s, but there was no date on the photo. A photo taken in 2023 shows our current oaks. If you’ve been downtown, you may have noticed how big they’ve grown over the past couple of years. Hopefully many of us will live to see the “big” oaks again. The four oak trees have always been a trademark of downtown Mocksville, especially at Christmas time. I have friends from Charlotte, South Carolina and other areas who come to our town every year to see our town decorated for Christmas. Thanks to Wanda James for sharing the photos.
