Jefferson City-area motorists will notice large Christmas trees being transported on trucks in the downtown area this morning.
The 2023 Missouri Governor’s Mansion Christmas trees will be arriving at the mansion sometime between 7 and 8 this morning, and a portion of Madison will be closed during that time.
Governor Mike Parson says the tree that will be displayed on the Mansion lawn is a 30-foot Norway spruce donated by the family of Daryl and Sherry Richardson of Boone County. Three Norway Spruce trees donated by Hermann’s Pea Ridge Forest will be displayed in the Mansion’s interior. Missouri Office of Administration (OA) staff will be installing the Mansion lawn tree, and Department of Conservation staff will install the indoor trees.
