In 2004, the tree was burned in a fire. The cause of the fire has never been given by local authorities. Currently, the tree and observation area are blocked from visitors by a gate.<ref>{{cite web | publisher=The Tifton Gazette | title=Landmark still recuperating from fire | url=http://www.tiftongazette.com/archivesearch/local_story_070221211.html | year=2006 | access-date=2008-02-13 | url-status=dead | archive-url=https://archive.today/20120914094037/http://www.tiftongazette.com/archivesearch/local_story_070221211.html | archive-date=2012-09-14 }}</ref> Although it no longer grows, the tree still stands. It is not known where the new second largest magnolia tree resides. ===Georgia Museum of Agriculture and Historic Village=== {{main|Georgia Museum of Agriculture & Historic Village}} The Georgia Museum of Agriculture & Historic Village, formerly known as Agrirama, is located in Tifton, Georgia.
