A third annual adventure for the Carnegie Historical Museum will be to sell 20 Christmas Trees to Honor and Memorialize those who have been lost by their families and friends.
With the Christmas season upon us, you might like to take time to remember or honor a loved one with a Christmas Tree in our outdoor display. The Museum Committee will provide the tree, lighting and electricity at the museum location at 112 South Court Street in Fairfield.
The donor family would provide the decoration for the tree to recognize the family member. Photos and other special decorations that are meaningful to the family could be displayed for the Christmas Season. The Carnegie Board will provide appropriate standardized signage to recognize the family member or individual being recognized.
Details and reservation forms are available for ordering the trees on the Museum’s Web Site at jeffersoncountyheritage.org. Please direct your questions to Dave Neff at 641-919-4640.
The fundraising effort will help the Carnegie Historical Museum provide special projects for the public to enjoy at the Museum. The cost will be $125.00 per tree.
