According to the historical legend, King Matthias tied his horse to this tree and pitched his tent here when he was in Nagymegyer to examine the grievances of the city's dwellers. The people of Nagymegyer, once belonging to the tribe of Megyer had an unusual right up to 1421, they did not pay taxes to anyone but the king. In 1421 King Sigismund exchanged the lands he owned here with the Kanizsays which resulted in the liege lords taxing the town's citizens, something they were not happy with. Thus, they turned to the king who was famous for his justice and Matthias set off for Nagymegyer wearing a disguise to investigate the matter. He determined the complaint to be justified and promised to remedy the situation. Due to this legend, the oaktree made its way to the city's historical and current coat of arms.

The memorial park was gradually transformed by the Csemadok Association of Nagymegyer between 1996 and 2010. Of the five carved wooden grave markers we can find here, one was created to commemorate the 1100the anniversary of the Conquest. The second one was made to honor the 730th anniversary of the first time the city was mentioned in writing. There is one that was erected to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the reorganization of the city's scout movement by the 23rd János Arany Scout Team in 2002. The marker was made to honor the foundation of the Csemadok basic organization can be found here as well along with the one made for the 20th annual Saint Stephen Days honoring the man who initiated it, the dean parson László Kovács.

The historically furnished farmhouse allows visitors to view the architectural and home-decor culture of families living in the 19th century and the turn of the 20th century. It was furnished in 1980. It says on the master beam of the first room, that the thatch roof home was constructed in 1836. The building comprises four rooms which are laid out one after another. When entering from the yard, we arrive in the vestibule, to the right is the first room and to the left, we have the back room. The pantry has a separate entrance from the yard, here we can see the tools which were used around the house and for farming at the time. The first room is unheated, the kitchen, which has an open chimney, displays the tools of food preparation. The historical furnishings of the rooms were donated by locals.
