Now that Christmas is over, many families have removed their Christmas trees or will soon. In fact, the Holiday Tree in the Capitol Rotunda outside our office will be coming down in early January. In case you’re wondering about these trees of yesteryear, here’s a rare photo of the 1959 Christmas tree that stood in the Rotunda. The classic photo is part of the Susan Parish Photograph Collection, 1889-1990 found in the State Digital Archives. Below is a photo of this year's Holiday Tree.
