Volunteers (in family groups) stationed at the museum’s historic buildings help bring the village scenes of our Christmas Village Drive Through to life. Look for these villagers as you enjoy the decorations. Learn more about the event: https://t.co/h2DkQpRYpB #VisitJoCo

The Museum’s holiday decor reflects the simple "Christmas Villages" as well as the historic decorative style of the time period we present (1880s-1950s). Our decorations also add a rustic element by being placed on our farmstead buildings. Learn more: https://t.co/h2DkQpRYpB

The classic film about the world of #BrightLeaf tobacco also makes us think of classic film star & #JoCo native, #AvaGardner. Ava was raised on a farm. Her father farmed cotton and tobacco. Photo: Ava with Gloria DeHaven in publicity shot. #VisitJoCo #TCMParty @AvaMuseum
