Last week we has the perfect image for Christmas Eve! "Where Was This Tree?" was the question, and most of the guesses were absolutely correct. Amy Frey, Dorothy Stone, R.C. Pond, and Bob Cunningham all commented that the tree was on Goodman Green in the center of West Hartford.

The official answer from the Noah Webster House & West Hartford Historical Society is: "This Christmas tree once stood in Goodman Green in the center of town. It was presented to the town by the Sarah Whitman Hooker Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution on May 13, 1929."
