Holiday Open House
In conjunction with the New Ulm Parade of Lights, the Brown County Historical Society is hosting a Holiday Open House on Friday, November 25th, from 10:00am to 8:00pm at its museum at 2 North Broadway. Admission is free.
Enjoy music, apple cider, and holiday treats from 4:00pm to 8:00pm. The museum will feature a display of holiday vintage treasures.

Visitors may recognize these vintage treasures from their own childhoods, including vintage dolls, a dollhouse, stuffed animals and a toy farm set. A Christmas village made by Frances Junke Ackerson will also be on display.
The holiday exhibit will be on display through December 2022 on the second floor of the Brown County Historical Society’s museum. For more information, please contact the BCHS at 507-233-2622.
