Festival of Trees Family Day at Bennington Museum

Bring the whole family to The Bennington Museum on Saturday December 8th, from 1:00 - 4:00 pm for the annual Festival of Trees Family Day. Admission is free. Some activities require a small fee. See model trains and toy trains from the museum's collection on display; enjoy snacks in the Museum Court; make your own train and tree crafts to take home; hear train stories; and, of course, have a visit with the guest of honor, Santa Claus! Growns-ups, don't miss the opportunity to view and bid on the silent auction items on display throughout the museum's second floor.

Culminating on December 14 with the Gala Finale, the Festival of Trees is the Bennington Museum’s annual fundraising event.
