Event Details
Celebrate the magic of the season at Macculloch Hall Historical Museum this December!
Tour the historic house decorated for the holidays and discover the work of Thomas Nast, the celebrated 19th-century political cartoonist often called the Father of the Modern Santa Claus. Explore our newest exhibition, “The Politics of a Thomas Nast Christmas,” and learn how Nast brought Santa into his political cartoons during the Civil War to support Union troops and boost morale. From the museum’s period rooms to the Macculloch family holiday traditions, experience the art and history behind some of America’s most enduring holiday imagery!
