Summary
"The Wenner's Hill Christmas Tree" on the Charles Harrington property at 605 N. Maple Avenue in the 1950s.
For several years in the 1950s, the Harrington family decorated a huge pine tree in their yard at 605 N. Maple Avenue. On one night in December, neighborhood children would perform “The Christmas Story,” recited the “Night Before Christmas,” and sang carols there.
Afterwards, Santa greeted the kids with “Christmas Boxes” containing hard candy and an orange. Jo Jamison recalled one year when the Harringtons' son Dave watched the festivities from his window while he was confined to bed due to polio.
As always, please share your memories of this community tree.
