The Festival of Gingerbread, the annual fundraiser to benefit The History Center, has a special treat for visitors this holiday season.
The museum kicks off its “special events” on November 21, as part of the Downtown Night of Lights. This is a time for visitors to get a sneak peek at the handiwork of creators from 5 to 9 p.m. Admission is $2 a person at the door for Lighting Night. At 6 p.m. the History Center’s turret will be lit with special holiday colors of red and green. Kids will love that Santa will make an appearance.

Throughout the season, admission is $5 adults ages 19-58, $3 for seniors ages 59+ and students ages 3-18, and free to children age 2 and under.
