From Atlas Obscura:
The front lawn arboretum of the Indiana Statehouse counts several commemorative and interesting trees among its display, and it's up to visitors to decide just how special they actually are.
However, one tree is sure to stand out as undeniably unique - a tall Sycamore tree planted more than 30 years old, from a seed taken to the moon and back during the Apollo 14 lunar mission.
One of only 50 or so trees left alive and well-maintained from an original set of 500 seeds taken to orbit the moon by astronaut Stuart A. Roosa, this "Moon Tree" is actually just one of four that can be found in Indiana. The others are in Lincoln City, Tell City and Cannelton.
