22nd Annual Victorian Frontier Christmas
December 14, 2006
 The Silver City Museum is housed in the H.B. Ailman House, at 312 West
Broadway in Historic Downtown Silver City. The Museum's main floor is
completely handicapped - accessible.
Silver City puts on its finest from the 19th Century for the annual
Victorian Christmas Evening at the Silver City Museum. Reenactors
dressed in clothing from the 1880s help visitors celebrate in the style
common to Silver City before the turn of the century, and a visit from
a frontier Father Christmas is always a favorite for kids and parents
alike.
The 21st Annual Victorian Christmas Evening will be December 14, from 5
pm to 9 pm, and will feature traditional decorations, music, hot mulled
cider and holiday treats, all in the spirit of an old-fashioned
community celebration. Visitors are welcome and need not be dressed in
clothing from the period to enjoy the evening.
For more information, contact the Silver City Museum at (505) 538-5921 or e-mail
