Every year around the holidays a local non-profit lights a Peace Tree at the Brown County Courthouse.
It looks like a Christmas tree but the Peace Tree is actually a year-round symbol for peace that started back in 1968.
Julie Radosavljevic is president of the non-profit.
She says Hilda Brovald started the Peace Tree through People for People of Green Bay as a response to the Vietnam War.
Ultimately Radosacljevic believes the purpose of the tree lighting ceremony is to remind people what the tree symbolizes year-round.
The tree will stay lit until the beginning of January.
