FROM WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION:
The Smith-McDowell House Museum is continuing its series of children’s education programs on Saturday, Dec. 17 from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the museum (283 Victoria Rd).

The “Crafty Historian,” Museum Education Coordinator Lisa Whitfield, will be celebrating “A Carolina Christmas” with a very special children’s tour of the beautifully decorated Smith-McDowell House Museum. This will be a hands-on tour featuring historic toys and games. Participants will also make a toy and a Victorian-style Christmas ornament.

Children above the age of nine may come to the event without a parent, but younger children will need adult supervision.

Admission is $5 each to cover craft expenses and reservations are suggested, so call by Dec. 15 at 838-253-9231 or email education@wnchistory.org

The Crafty Historian series will take place on third Saturdays of most months (January, March, May, July, August, and September) and include a program and a craft that is related to the event.

The Smith McDowell House Museum is operated by the Western North Carolina Historical Association and is open to the public Wednesdays through Saturdays from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. Tour admission is $10 for adults, with reduced pricing for students, children and group tours. Call the Museum at (828) 253-9231 and visit our website at www.wnchistory.org for more information
