        Rockefeller Center is famous for its annual Christmas tree lighting. This activity has been attracting viewers for more then 75 years! It was built by the Rockefeller family in 1933. John D. Rockefeller had built it during the Great Depression for the unemployed people. Over 40,000 people had found jobs with this amazing project. Rockefeller Center is now located in Manhattan, New York.
