Missouri Day Festival Exhibit
Annual exhibit during the Missouri Day Festival, the third weekend in October, in the Art Building of the Rock Barn courtyard on the fairgrounds in Trenton. Displays and items vary and typically reflect the Missouri Day Festival theme.
St. Nicholas Square Christmas Village
The charm of the village brings back memories of an old-fashion Christmas and is an amazing site when lit. The collection of hand-painted homes, shops and accessories were donated to the Museum in memory of Pam Sager. The village is on display during Downtown Christmas, an annual event hosted by Main Street Trenton on the first Friday in December and when Santa visits the museum.
Santa Visits the Museum
Santa Claus annually visits the museum. The date for Santa's visit is currently pending. During this FREE event, photos may be taken of children sitting with Santa or with Rudolph.
The main floor of the museum will be decorated for the holidays including the St. Nicholas Square Christmas Village donated by the Sager family.
