Summary
| Description |
The 1964 Capitol Christmas Tree, a Douglas Fir from Birdsboro, PA, arrived at the Capitol Grounds to be planted as a permanent Christmas Tree on the West Front of the Capitol. In 1964, House Speaker John W. McCormack suggested to J. George Stewart, Architect of the Capitol, that a Christmas tree be placed on the Capitol Grounds. A live 24-foot Douglas fir was purchased for $700 from Buddies Nurseries of Birdsboro, Pennsylvania, and was planted on the West Front lawn. Each year through 1967 this tree was decorated and a tree-lighting ceremony was held. For more information on the U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree visit: www.aoc.gov/cc/grounds/hol_trees/index.cfm.
