We are thrilled to once again be part of Main Street Gettysburg's A Gettysburg Christmas Festival! We'll be hosting several events, including a Santa Claus Scavenger Hunt! This includes FREE Museum Admission for *children ages 12 and under who participate*, each of whom receives an exclusive SRMEC Christmas sticker (pictured) and a worksheet. Search for historic drawings of Santa by 19th-century artist Thomas Nast that are hidden throughout the Museum--and those who find all 10 hidden Santas receive a special prize!
