Garst Museum
Holiday Open House
Garst Museum’s annual Holiday Open House will be held on Sunday,
December 6 from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. The public is cordially invited
to attend. Everyone can tour the museum and the National Annie Oakley
Center at no charge on this one afternoon.
Highlights of the afternoon include live seasonal music, light
refreshments and beautiful decorations. Also artifacts from the
museum’s Christmas collection will be used for decorating. Plan to do a
little Christmas shopping in the Museum Store, as there will be a 20%
discount on all items.
The museum features a number of beautifully decorated Christmas trees
illustrating the theme “The Heroes and Legends of Darke County.” Trees
were decorated by the following groups: The Wildflower Garden Club, the
Junior Butterflies Garden Club, the Sun and Fun Garden Club, the
Ladybug Garden Club, the Wood Sprite Garden Club, the Garden Girls
Garden Club, the VFW Women’s Auxiliary, and the Fort Greene Ville
Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
Plan to stop by and enjoy the fun, shop, and also take advantage of the
free admission to tour the museum.
The Darke County Historical Society (the Garst Museum) has as its
mission to collect, preserve, exhibit, study, and interpret materials
relating to the history and culture of Darke County, Ohio as part of
the development of the crossroads of the American experience. Permanent
exhibitions of national significance include the National Annie Oakley
Center, the Treaty of Greenville, Lowell Thomas, and Ohio Native
Americans.
