On Saturday, December 13 from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m., the History Museum will create Tree Treasures. Your family can prepare for an old-fashioned holiday season by creating their own Victorian ornaments.
Tree Treasures is held in conjunction with Redwood City’s Hometown Holidays celebration.
People made their own ornaments for early Victorian Christmas trees. They hung fancy cakes, gingerbreads and cornucopias filled with sweets and nuts on their trees. By the late 1800s, people decorated trees with many store-bought ornaments such as glass balls or baubles.
At 1 p.m., join us for a Courthouse Docket presentation – a holiday performance by the Wandering Bow in our Historic Courtroom A. The Wandering Bow is a band formed due to a mutual interest in 19th century music and history.
