It does not seem to be certain that the oak was actually a "slave tree". So, objectively speaking, there is just a large oak tree with iron chains growing in it.

Tree is cut. Probably started to die. Gate is locked (on Sunday) so could not get close.

It's not a slave tree, just a normal tree where they stuck a piece of chain in to attract people. The tree would have been a sapling in the slave times. No tickets are needed, you just walk into their front yard.
