The spirit of Christmas filled the Huron County Museum during its annual Holiday Open House, where families enjoyed apple cider, gingerbread decorating, and a touch of Victorian charm.
On December 7, the Huron County Museum hosted a holiday open house, welcoming locals for a free visit to see what the museum has to offer.
“It was important for us to keep the event as affordable as possible, and we loved providing families with the opportunity to get together before the holiday rush,” said Michael Roy, education programming coordinator at the Huron County Museum.
“It gave everyone a wonderful chance to get out and enjoy a festive afternoon.”
Roy said there is a higher demand for youth programming, receiving positive feedback from the popular Art Unplugged that ran in the spring. He explained that the museum is always open to new program ideas from the community.
Roy encourages the community to continue to visit the museum throughout the month of December. He hopes that visitors will get a chance to visit the Huron County Art Show exhibit before it ends on December 14. The exhibit features over 50 pieces of art made by local artists.
Roy remarked on Remembrance Day, giving visitors the chance to walk through its military gallery and reflect on the artifacts on display.
He said the exhibits serve as a powerful reminder of the importance of remembrance and the sacrifices made by those who served.
“I think people are always looking for interesting things to do, whether it’s here at the museum or elsewhere in the community. The more programs we can offer for families in Goderich, the more vibrant the area becomes,” said Roy.
“I love being able to give kids, students, and families creative experiences that are both educational and fun. It helps strengthen our community and inspires people to keep learning and exploring together.”
