One Talladega group is working to revive a tradition of outdoor Christmas trees. The Associated Press reports the Talladega Historic Preservation Commission is asking residents in the city’s historic district to place lit Christmas trees in their front yard this year.
The so-called “Silk Stocking District” of Talladega reportedly saw yards with white lights during holiday seasons past, but that practice has since faded. According to the AP, the commission is trying to spread the tradition citywide by offering unlit tress for $20 and providing volunteers to help with decorating.
The Silk Stocking District of Talladega is roughly bounded by Coffee St. and McMillan St. and is made up of about 120 buildings from the city’s earliest years. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979 and features houses dating back to the 1820s.
