SUMMARY:Lament for the Christmas Tree Shops - With Anthony Sammarco
DESCRIPTION:This is the rescheduled event from November 2024.\nDidn’t You Just Love a Bargain?\n\n\nA Lament for the Christmas Tree Shops\n\n\nJoin us as the Stoneham Historical Society & Museum welcomes back noted Boston historian Anthony Sammarco\, speaking on his latest book .”The Christmas Tree Shops: Don’t You Just Love a Bargain?”  He creates a  fascinating glimpse into this once iconic store that we all shopped at. The Christmas Tree Shops were an icon of Massachusetts\, with 23 stores that boasted a diverse assortment of merchandise from seasonal decorations\, home decor\, housewares\, food and giftware and just about everything else.  Their unique style left many shoppers saddened when the chain closed in 2023 after bankruptcy. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker:\n\n\nAnthony Mitchell Sammarco is a noted historian and author of over sixty books on the history and development of Boston\, and he lectures widely on the history and development of his native city. He commenced writing in 1995\, and his books Lost Boston\, The History of Howard Johnson’s: How A Massachusetts Soda Fountain Became a Roadside Icon\, and The Baker Chocolate Company: A Sweet History are among his many books that have made the bestsellers list. \nMr. Sammarco is employed by Boston-based Payne/Bouchier\, Inc. and since 1997 he has taught history at the Urban College of Boston\, where he was named educator of the year and where he serves on the Leadership Council.
