This excerpt from the Baldwin Chamber of Commerce website describes what the Signal Oak was:
Settlers hung lanterns at night and flags by day from the top branches of the old oak tree that once sat at the top of Santa Fe Ridge, overlooking the Vinland Valley. The signals warned settlers from other communities of approaching invaders during the "Bleeding Kansas" days. The oak tree died in 1914, but a marker and plaque remain to tell visitors about a piece of Kansas history
