The Tree

11.29.2020

We have all heard of “The” Ohio State but what about “The” Christmas Tree. It is hard to believe one could ever consider saying “The” Christmas Tree but the Indiana State Museum may have it.  It really has nothing to do with what kind of tree it is or how tall, It has more to do with the decorations.  

I mean it is “The” Indiana State Museum after all so it only makes sense that it would have a tree decorated with one ornament for each of the states 92 counties. You can literally look up your county on an interactive screen and it will tell you all about the ornament from your County. Now that is the easy and even enjoyable part. The hard part is finding it on the tree. Go to the second floor and give it a shot. Your kids might actually enjoy searching for it.
