GRAYSON COUNTY, Va. (WFXR) – The 2024 National Christmas Tree that was delivered to Washington D.C. was from Mount Rogers National Recreation Area in Grayson County, Virginia.
According to the National Park Service, the tree is a 30-foot Red Spruce tree that was transferred to the White House on November 15.
“For many, in addition to the religious significance of this holiday, part of the Christmas season is the Christmas tree,” said Griffith. “The selection of a tree from Grayson County for this year’s National Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony is a significant recognition of our region’s contributions to the Christmas season.
“The entire Ninth District has a right to celebrate this occasion, as it puts on display one of the region’s commodities for the entire nation to see.”
The National Tree Lighting Ceremony occurred at the Ellipse of President’s Park.
