Summary
| Description |
A Douglas Fir from Birdsboro, Pennsylvania arrives on the West Front lawn of the U.S. Capitol Building. The tree was intended to be a permanent Christmas tree and was decorated and lighted each year through 1967. Unfortunately, a combination of factors, including a severe wind storm in the spring of 1967 and root damage, caused the tree to die in 1968; it was removed in the same year.
