This holiday season, the Society will bring magic back to the Kearney Mansion Museum & Gallery with our annual display of Christmas at Kearney. The Mansion will be filled with decorated trees, each representing a local decorator's interpretation of a treasured Christmas Story for our Holiday Tales theme. 

 

From November 24th through New Year's Eve, guests will learn the history of Christmas Stories from 1816's The Nutcracker and the Mouse King all the way to 2005's Amazing Peace. Additionally, guests will tour the Kearney Mansion and learn the story of M. Theo Kearney and the Fruit Vale Estate. Special events are planned during the month, including a Meet & Greet with Santa and Holiday Tea Parties. Details are listed below.
