Episode Notes:\nFor more than 50 years, the country accepted without question that Wooster, Ohio immigrant August Imgard was the first to decorate a Christmas tree in America. His charming story was told and retold by newspapers from coast to coast every December.\n\nBut was Imgard really the first? Ninety-nine years after he spruced up a fir and enchanted his neighbors, a Wooster professor would go looking for the answer.\n\n\n www.ohiomysteries.com\nfeedback@ohiomysteries.com\n www.patreon.com/ohiomysteries\n www.twitter.com/mysteriesohio\n www.facebook.com/ohiomysteries\xa0\nlkson- Christmas Bass Rebels on youtube\nAshamaluev Music on youtube for opening and closing\n\xa0\nLearn more about your ad choices.
