Preserving Auction Oak

By Nicole Barrios

The Kyle Auction Oak, a historical tree and point of pride for community members, is undergoing restoration to keep this Texas historic tree alive for generations to come. 

The Auction Oak was the site of the famous 1880 auction in which plots of land were sold when Kyle was founded along the international and great Northern Railroad. Under the shade of the large live oak, the public auction was held and all business as well as most residential lots were sold, according to the Texas Historical Commission.
