(From the Hancock Historical Museum)

The Hancock Historical Museum has decked the halls and invites the community to its annual Christmas Open House from 5 – 8 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 6. This year’s event is open to everyone free of charge, thanks to the generous support of Hancock Federal Credit Union!

Bring the whole family to enjoy the sounds of the holidays with live music by the Findlay String Factor, capture memories with photos alongside Father Christmas and Mrs. Claus, and taste complimentary seasonal refreshments. Children can take part in a variety of holiday-themed crafts and games, with the first 100 families to arrive receiving a free children’s book courtesy of the Richard P. Barchent Jr. Educational Fund. Guests of all ages can explore engaging activities hosted by community partners, including (but not limited to) the Findlay-Hancock County Public Library, Children’s Mentoring Connection, 50 North, the Children’s Museum, and Hancock County Parks District, while adults are invited to craft beautiful ornaments at the historic Davis Learning Institute.

Don’t forget to browse the museum’s gift shop for one-of-a-kind holiday gifts featuring tickets to the Historic Homes Tour: Holiday Edition (Dec. 14), vintage German nutcrackers from the private collection of Waltraud Mullinger, local history books, apparel, children’s toys, and unique Findlay Glass pieces.

Celebrate the spirit of the season with friends and neighbors at the Hancock Historical Museum’s Christmas Open House—thanks to Hancock Federal Credit Union, admission is free for all!
