The "Freedom Tree" in Entebbe is a significant historical landmark that played a pivotal role in Uganda's independence movement. Before Uganda's independence in 1962, this tree was a meeting place for nationalist leaders and gatherings where speeches were given advocating for freedom from colonial rule. Today, it remains a community gathering spot and a testament to the struggle for independence.
