The annual event will feature a tasting flight of five wines from Scout & Cellar, custom paired with a brunch-inspired menu from Main Street Cafe.

Attendees are welcome to enjoy all-you-can-eat appetizers and beverages in the courtyard.

The museum will be open for tours and volunteers will be available to escort visitors through the buildings and grounds and provide knowledge about new exhibits.

“Catch up with friends and neighbors as you meander through different parts of the museum, including Toti’s Tavern,” said Iron County Historical & Museum Society Museum Director Kathlene “KL” Long.

This year’s theme is “Dreamin’ of a White Christmas.”

The Iron County Historical Museum opened in 1968 on the grounds of the former Caspian Mine that closed in 1937.

The tall headframe, which can be seen from anywhere on the grounds, stands over a flooded mine shaft that is 539 feet deep.

The society’s mission is “to preserve the past, inspire lifelong learning, and encourage cultural engagement.”
