Merced County Courthouse Museum to celebrate 37th Annual Christmas Open House

On Sunday 1-4 p.m. Dec. 5 the public is invited to experience the 37th Annual Christmas Open House at the Merced County Courthouse Museum, located at 21st and N streets.

The museum has “decked the halls” and filled the rooms of its historic building with over 70 Christmas trees, according to a news release from the museum.

At the open house, we will serve treats and traditional Courthouse egg nog.

Live entertainment will be performed by the following groups starting at 1 p.m. Central Presbyterian Church Handbell Choir, Harmony Valley Chorus, Sandra Stocking’s Flute Group, and Merced Baroque Sinfonia.

The event is free to the public, and the Courthouse Museum. The Christmas tree exhibit will run through Dec. 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.
