A new park in Missouri City is dedicated to the history of the transition from enslavement to freedom. The park commemorates a significant event that took place on the Palmer Plantation. Details about the park's features are not available, but it is known that the park honors the history of slaves gathering under an oak tree.

This gathering occurred during the 1860s when slaves learned they had been freed. Further information about Freedom Tree Park can be found through Houston Public Media, which reported on the park's significance in recognizing the history of the Palmer Plantation.
