From Sea to Shining Sea: Travel Across America with This Year’s Capitol Christmas Tree

Starting at a tree farm in Nevada, the U.S. Forest Service takes us on a journey across America to experience the magic of Christmas at the U.S. Capitol.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Capitol Christmas tree has been a tradition for many years. In 1970, the U.S. Forest Service assumed responsibility for sourcing the tree and has ensured those deliveries occur each year since. This Christmas, the U.S. Capitol’s centerpiece tree comes all the way from Nevada — the U.S. Forest Service takes us on that journey.
