It might be the wrong kind of weather outside for this kind of post, but we could use your help.

To finish our 2023 season, beginning in November, Alleghany Historical Museum will feature a new exhibit called Ghosts of Christmas Past.

While we’ve featured Christmas themes before, this is the earliest we have ever started planning.

So: Do you have old timey decorations or toys or games or stockings or children’s books, photos or greeting cards or ANYTHING having to do with the holiday that you would lend us for the exhibit? Items from our area would be even more special!

Do you have family traditions you’d share? Where did you get your tree? Did you make snow cream? Molasses cakes? Did you go hunting? Or caroling? What are your Christmas Eve memories?

Your support would be welcome and appreciated.
Call and leave a message at: (336)372-2115 or
email: info@ahgs.org or
message us on facebook or
drop us a line: PO Box 817, Sparta, NC 28675.

Your participation will surely help folks remember their own “Christmas past” and brighten their “Christmas present.”
