About this Event
In addition to its regular weekday hours (10-4 Wed-Fri), Founder’s Hall Museum hosts a monthly weekend open house. Visitors can enjoy special themed highlights and activities, along with the opportunity for a self-guided visit to the museum.
Join us in December for a festive afternoon of music and cheer at our Hum for the Holidays Open House at Founder's Hall. Enjoy clips from Winter concerts dating back over the past fifty years, from Good Night and Christmas Prayer to Kwanzaa Celebration. Dive into the history of the Girard Ginger cookie, which has been produced since at least the Civil War (with samples of course). Simple holiday crafts and a museum scavenger hunt round out the event for our younger visitors.
