The unexceptional maple trees seen here usually are a blazing yellow tunnel by mid-October. Not this warm and wet year. The Beth Eden Chapel was finished in 1900 and the driveway beside it went to a residence built in 1902 by Morrill Goddard, a Hearst Publications editor.
The maples that line that driveway and shadow the Chapel are old, but they don’t look old enough to be the original Goddard driveway trees. Does anyone know when these trees were planted?
