Christmas Of Our Past 2012



               Get a glimpse of Christmas past this holiday season at the Dorcheat Historical Association Museum located in Minden, Louisiana.  A backdrop of Minden in the snow from 1892 welcomes you with a special holiday greeting and vintage Christmas music in the background.  The museum is decorated for holidays with a special exhibit of antique Christmas cards that date back to 1911 along with antique children’s Christmas books and toys.  The 1800s O’Bier Cabin is a real treat for our visitors; the stockings were hung by the chimney with care in this one room historical cabin.  The simple popcorn decorations on a feather tree along with greenery on the mantel and red patch work quilts on the bed and table adorn this highlighted exhibit of the Webster Parish museum.  Special holiday hours will be in place during the season so please check our website for more information.  As always the museum offers free admission to guest.  Join us on Facebook or join our email list by visiting or website at www.museuminminden.blogspot.com
