Abstract:

Stephen Jackson of Brevard is the founder, owner, and curator of the one-of-a-kind aluminum Christmas tree museum. These shiny trees were popular in the mid-20th-century. Now in its ninth year, the mobile seasonal display contains nearly 100 trees. Foster has compiled an extensive list of around 40 manufacturers of this type of tree, their production dates, and descriptions of over 30 different kinds of branches.
