Hello
I hope you can help me. I am trying to do a project about the Rockefeller Center Christmas trees from the past. 1960, to be exact. My Mother, who has passed away, had a christmas tree taken from her house in Newmilford, PA. Where would I find archived stories or pictures from that year? Thank you in advance

I'm looking for a print/poster of the 2003 Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree.
I just read your websit for the tree in NYC. I just read a posting for the 1960 tree. I actually have a book with pictures and information about the trees. and there is information about that tree how can I get in touch with Donna Serpa thank you for your help
Actually the 1960 tree was taken from Emanual and Olga Owens home in New Milford, Pa. Maybe the correct name will help with the search process.
