/* Fun Facts and Trivia */
*The live oak that serves as the centerpiece of Liberty Square is more than 130 years old, and was found on the southern end of the Walt Disney World property. In order to move the 38-ton tree, 2-inch holes were drilled through the trunk, then fitted with steel dowel pins. Once transplanted, the pins were removed and replaced with sections of Oak Hardwood. With careful observation, the plugs can still be seen today <ref> http://www.disneyhistoryinstitute.com/2009/11/liberty-tree-storyonly-god-can-make.html </ref>.
 
* The rocks that guests see after crossing the bridge to enter Liberty Square were quarried from a location 6 miles from where George Washington crossed the Delaware River <ref> Realityland: true-life adventures at Walt Disney World. David Koenig - Bonaventure Press - 2007 </ref>.
