History Of Christmas Trees

“The History of Christmas Trees” will be a special display in the Owen P. Miles Museum, Mt. Carroll during December 2021, sponsored by the Carroll County Historical Society. Decorated trees on display will feature ornaments from the late 1800s up to the 1960s. Also on loan will be a display of vintage Christmas cards and an historic “Old Country” vintage Nativity set. Step back in time and imagine one of these trees in your home as friends and family gather to celebrate Christmases in the past.

Museum hours during December will be Saturday, Tuesday and Thursday 10 a.m. – 2 p.m., Sunday 11 a.m....
