The White House Ornaments |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The White House Historical Association was created in 1961 to enhance public understanding, appreciation, and enjoyment of the White House. The income from the sale of these ornaments is used to fund the purchase and restoration of historical furnishings and artworks that become part of the permanent White House collection. The first ornament was created in 1981 and many presidential administrations use them in decorating the White House tree that stands in the Blue Room.
