The exhibit, first launched in 2019, has new trees added each year. The Magic of Christmas: Christmas Trees Through The Ages engages all five senses and will stir old memories while contributing to the forming of new ones. The presenters created the exhibit to give viewers the pleasure of the season without the expense.
