Missouri News Horizon As decorations begin appearing throughout the capitol city, Gov. Jay Nixon and his wife Georganne Nixon welcomed the arrival of their Christmas trees Monday morning. The trees are scheduled for a public lighting ceremony on Friday with public tours available throughout the weekend. This year’s trees are both White Pines from Tannenbaum Tree Farm in Armstrong, Mo., selected by the Missouri Department of Conservation. Afterwards, public visitors will be invited to take candlelight tours of the mansion from 6:30 to 9 p.m. and then again from 2 to 4 p.m. on Saturday. The tours will provide an intimate look into several rooms of the historic building, which has been home to Missouri’s governors since 1871. The Mansion is located at 100 Madison St. in Jefferson City.
