JEROMESVILLE – Hidden away on private land off Ohio 89 just south of Jeromesville stands the country’s largest Sycamore tree. Area residents will have the chance to see the majestic tree during the annual Sycamore Festival on Saturday, Oct. 1.

Hayrides provided by tractors and a military truck will take visitors from the park to see the tree. The cost of the hayride is by donation only.
The Lions Club will also be selling food by donation including pulled pork, soups, French fries, desserts and more. Boy Scout Troop 521 will be on-hand to prepare campfire donuts.
Other activities include:
