Christmas trees become tradition in 1800s / Delaplane, Kristin [266] [ECHOS-1995-266]
Information for this article came from the Solano County archives. Last in a series By 1877, there were beginning to be a number of family Christmas trees, and it was also noted that it was becoming a custom to have a public Christmas tree.

It was felt by some that this "public tree" made an ostentatious display of the holiday, at the same time recognizing that it did give the children a great deal of joy.

Trees are attempting to obliterate the abandoned stone building with their entwining branches, one firmly planted in the second-floor stones. The vacant windows stare out at a world that has passed the grand old mill by.
