Fallon, NV 89406
The Shoe Tree of Middlegate, located near the one-horse town of Fallon, Nevada, stands as a unique landmark along the desolate US Highway 50, known as the "Loneliest Road in America." Adorned with a multitude of footwear, this lone cottonwood tree tells a tale of reconciliation and love, stemming from a heated argument between a newlywed couple many years ago.
As visitors drive by, they can witness the eclectic display of shoes hanging from the branches, each pair symbolizing a story or a moment captured in time. Despite the original Shoe Tree being felled by vandals in 2010, subsequent trees have taken its place, continuing the tradition of adding new shoes to its collection, creating a picturesque sight against the stark backdrop of the desert.
