About Us
The name Cherry Tree honors George Washington who, in 1782, gifted 鈥渢he College at Chester鈥� 50 guineas, consented to serve on its Board, and gave the educational institution permission to use his name. In the American imagination, George Washington is a figure who has come to represent both truth-telling and mythmaking. The famous story of the cherry tree鈥�I can't tell a lie, Pa; you know I can't tell a lie. I did cut it with my hatchet.鈥攔eminds us that there is truth even in invention, that even apocrypha can convey the facts of life.
