About our namesake:"The name Cherry Tree honors George Washington who, in 1782, gifted 'the College at Chester' 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—'I can’t tell a lie, Pa; you know I can’t tell a lie. I did cut it with my hatchet.'—reminds us that there is truth even in invention, that even apocrypha can convey the facts of life."
