Very old. Only one execution for treason in the US. William Bruce Mumford, 1862, for pulling down an American flag.

I think it’s still on the books, though.

Maybe Julius and Ethel Rosenberg don't count (espionage conviction), but their crimes added up to treason, nonetheless. I-40 could justifiably be decorated with Democrats like Cassius decorated the Appian Way after the Spartacus Revolt.
