It is a special way to remember a loved one for the holidays, whether a family member, friend, or special pet. 

This year, a remembrance tree will grace the porch of the museum’s main gallery, and the public is invited to purchase a personalized ornament for the tree. The ornament is a 2 1/2-inch clear acrylic circle. The top will read “Remembering” and the bottom, “This Christmas.” A small suction cup comes with the tree for hanging at home.

Each ornament is $5 and order forms are available until Nov. 18 at the museum during open hours, which are 1 to 4 p.m., Tuesdays through Fridays, and 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturdays, until Dec. 14.

The ornaments are available for pickup after the Christmas tree lighting at the museum on Dec. 5, through Dec. 14, when the museum closes until May 2025. There is no limit on the number of ornaments purchased.
