Those big white pines are majestic. I've seen a few in travels in the northeast. They were one of the first species targeted by industrial scale logging between after the Civil War and 1900. Most old growth white pine in the U.S. (the Northeast and the Great Lake states) were cut between 1850 and 1900. Good thing trees can regrow. Besides the occasional secluded patch of actual old growth white pine that escaped the ax and 2-man saw, there are patches of them now reaching "old growth" status (what is that for a white pine 150-200 years?) on farmland that went back to forest starting around the 1830s and onwards. Land change is interesting to watch, especially in comparing old photos of spots with what's there today or old aerial photos compared to new ones or changes in Earth observing satellites, although they've only been around for 50 years or less.
