The Versailles Area Museum invite you and your family for the Grand Opening of our new displays inspired by the theme “Home for the Holidays”.
We will be featuring the famous local treasure, On the Street Where You Lived with the Parmenter Popcorn Wagon which has been entrusted by the Charlie Parmenter family to the museum. Also a parlor trimmed for the holidays in true Victorian style. Martin’s Department Store’s Toy Land from the 1950’s will be a feature in the Entuprenure Room. Our 1900’s kitchen will have holiday treats right from the oven. Remember those first Christmas Cards and packages that came by U.S. Mail, not to mention writing a letter to the man up north? All those memories including the only local mail box for Santa Letters will be on display. We are also fortunate to have a portion of the amazing nativity scenes from the collection of Tim Nealeigh, which help us remember the real reason for the season. There will also be touches of the season to be found throughout the museum.
This would also be a great chance to stop by our gift shop and pick up our newest book “All Roads Lead Home” or some other great gift that will be appreciated and help support the museum. Memberships and tickets for our Winter Gala “All On a Winter’s Eve” on February 14th 2015 will be available.
Mark the calendar and join us often through the season to rekindle your childhood memories of Christmas’s Past!
