Reminisce with us on Taunton’s renown holiday history in the program Holiday History in the Christmas City hosted through Zoom on Thursday, December 10 at 6 PM.

This program on Christmas City will be led by Old Colony History Museum.

In this presentation, we’ll take a trip back in time and explore this wonderful local history.

The Old Colony History Museum is home to an extensive collection of regional objects and archives and a research library specializing in local history and genealogy. It’s parent organization, the Old Colony Historical Society, was founded on May 4, 1853, making it one of New England’s oldest historical societies.
