The Marathon County Historical Society presents their annual Holidays at the Houses, Saturday, December 9th from 10:30 am-4:30 pm. The Woodson History Center and Yawkey House Museum will be decorated for the holidays and visitors will experience the season with live entertainment, children’s activities, and the always popular Friends of Wausau Historic Landmarks’ Sweet Landmarks Gingerbread Contest. This year’s theme will be “Making Christmas Memories”. What are the things you look forward to doing every year during the holiday season? What reminds you of home? Decorating cookies, caroling, holiday storytime, vintage toy and Barbie displays, decorating a tree, photo fun, coloring contest, and of course, Santa will keep everyone having a festive time while making new memories. Admission to the Woodson History Center is always free. Guided tours of the Yawkey House Museum will feature reenactors, highlighting the Yawkey family’s holiday traditions as well as the history and architectural details of the exquisite house itself. The last tour leaves the Woodson History Center at 3:30 pm. Tickets for the tour are $5 and can be purchased at the Woodson History Center.
