Christmas in Old Appalachia-December 6-24, 2009 at Museum of Appalachia

Anderson County

Visitors will have the opportunity to recall a time of simple gifts, homemade decorations, family gatherings and friendly folk. Christmas trees decorated with traditional paper chains, popcorn chains and balls of cotton and many other homemade decorations will be on display throughout the Museum of Appalachia. Musicians will be playing and singing Christmas carols and old-time songs in front of open fires and stockings, stuffed with tradition Appalachian Christmas items, will be hung in the cabins.  If you are worried that you won't have time to visit the museum because you don't have your holiday shopping done, don't worry. The museum gift shop will be stocked for Christmas with thousands of Appalachian-made items representing many months of labor on the part of hundreds of local and regional mountain folk.
