Frontier Christmas
Friday, December 5, 2025
6 pm – 9 pm
Admission is FREE with a canned good donation to
A Child Shall Lead Them Food Pantry
and through the generosity of Mulco Insurance, Inc.
Join us as we celebrate the beginning of the Christmas season in true pioneer spirit! The Museum Center and Pioneer Park will be full of holiday cheer and ringing with music and song!
There will be hot apple cider and delicious cookies, costumed interpreters and demonstrators, a Christmas craft, and even a visit from Santa Claus himself! You can finish up your holiday shopping (or maybe just get started) with discounts in the Museum Gift Shop. There’s so much to see and do at the Museum – you won’t want to miss it!
And check out the Tazewell County tourism blog for a little history and more information about
Christmas on the frontier!
