Hallmark "Nostalgic Houses and Shops Series: Keepsake Korners Police Station" Christmas Ornament, 2009

01

Artifact Overview

Hallmark's "Nostalgic Houses and Shops" ornament series reflects a centuries-old Christmas tradition of placing small buildings under the tree to create tiny "villages." It began in 1984 and is one of Hallmark's longest-running series. Hung on the tree, these ornaments--depicting homes, stores, and other buildings--evoke small-town American life in days gone by.
