Legend has it that if you make a wish under the legs of a four-legged tree, your wish will come true.  For 121 years, Bridgewater had such a tree.  In 1833, Eleazer Carver planted four trees beside his front gate.  When the trees were tall enough, he chained them together.   They grew into one to form a living arch.   They remained a landmark for travelers heading south to the Cape along Summer Street.   Located near the entrance to Carver's Pond, the tree was a source of curiosity and wonder until 1954 when the last part of the tree was taken down due to Dutch elm disease.
