Holidays in the Rotunda

Get into the holiday spirit at the museum Dec. 3 with our annual Holidays in the Rotunda celebration! This free event takes place in front of the museum's magnificently decorated 19-foot Christmas tree in the rotunda, and live entertainment and Santa's workshop will get you in the yuletide spirit. Children will be able to make holiday ornaments in the classroom, while a variety of entertainers will keep things festive in the rotunda. There will be cookies, hot chocolate and punch being served during the activities. For further information call (979) 691-4014, or email to reservations.bush@nara.gov.

Have your picture in the Oval Office with Santa! Santa will be in the Oval Office from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. during the Holidays in the Rotunda event. This is a perfect opportunity to have a family holiday picture made, either 8x10, 5x7, or do it yourself. Regular museum admission and photo prices apply.

We will be collecting donations of non-perishable food items at the Holidays in the Rotunda event for the Food for Families holiday food drive. Collection boxes will be at the main entrance near security. Come and enjoy the event, and please help us feed the Brazos Valley this holiday season.
