Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

What are your favorite memories of Christmas past? The Polk County History Museum will have a program discussing the family traditions during the Christmas season. This month’s program will be on December 3 at 2:30 p.m.

 

Attendees are asked to share pictures and stories of the favorite holiday memories. A favorite treat, favorite decoration or anything that your family considered a Christmas tradition. 

 

As part of the program it is hoped to discover many of the stories behind our old timey and often forgotten traditions. Please plan to come share, hear and learn about the region’s Christmas traditions.

 

The PCHA program will take place inside the history museum at 60 Walker Street in downtown Columbus. The public is invited to attend and as always, the program is free of charge.
