On Sunday, December 4, from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m., the public is invited to experience our 38th annual Christmas Open House at the Courthouse Museum. We have “decked the halls” and filled the rooms of our historic building with over 75 Christmas trees. At the open house, we will serve treats and traditional Courthouse eggnog. Live entertainment will be performed by the following groups starting at 1:00 p.m.: Central Presbyterian Church Handbell Choir, Our Lady of Mercy School Christmas Choir, Harmony Valley Chorus, Merced Baroque Sinfonia, Sandra Stocking’s Flute Group, and St. Anthony School Choir. The event is free to the public, and the Courthouse Museum is located at 21st and N Streets, Merced. The Christmas tree exhibit will run through December 30. Teachers are reminded that the museum will be open Monday through Friday mornings throughout December for walk-through tours. This is a wonderful way to introduce your class to the museum. Call the museum office at (209) 723-2401. Please support your local museum by shopping at our store for holiday gifts, especially the Christmas gnomes made by museum volunteers. Don’t forget to visit our current exhibit, “Land and Water: The Building of an Ag Empire.”
