Holiday Open House

At the Museum

SUNDAY, JANUARY 2, 2011

1:00 til 5:00

 

In honor of the "reclamation" of the museum's MUSIC Room, we hosted a Holiday Musical.

Holiday music was provided by various musicians and vocalists each hour for 20 minutes. In between, there was time to explore.

Holiday decorations were found in all rooms.

Visitors checked out the new addition including: Genealogy Center & Storage Room, Break Room, and the Computer Room.

The guests also saw the summer kitchen renewal with its new old floor and displays.  They also enjoyed refreshments and viewing the ongoing slideshow.

 

We have posted some pictures of the museum in all its holiday glory from this event!
