The museum will have a soft opening and Christmas open house at its temporary home! Ready to celebrate holiday cheer, visit us at 78-C Catawba Ave., from 1-4 p.m. Dec. 14 before the annual Old Fort Christmas parade.
Decorated for Christmas, the temporary location will also have a special exhibit on holiday traditions in Western North Carolina. The many communities that called Western N.C. home all had special winter celebrations. Along with Christmas, people also celebrated the Scottish New Year, Junkanoo, and others. Visitors can learn about all of them while enjoying Christmas decorations, free hot cocoa, and fun holiday crafts thanks to the Old Fort Community Forum.
We hope to see you at this free event and you will have a chance to visit the rest of Old Fort as other businesses and organizations will be celebrating Christmas that day too.
