Museums Hold Annual Open Houses

An annual community tradition returned to Doylestown Tuesday, as the Mercer and Michener Museums partnered to offer an evening of free holiday fun to the local community. 

Guests could tour all seven levels of the Mercer Museum and enjoy entertainment by the Bucks County Women's Chorus, Central Bucks High School East Instrumental Chamber Ensembles and Symphonic Band, Bucks County Country Gentlemen, Delaware Valley College Chorale, The Love Notes, One Voice Hand Bell Choir and Tamanend Middle School Gold'n'Blue.  

Children visited Santa in the Museum's Log House; guests also could participate in the Burning of the Greens bonfire, sing along with the Mercer Carolers and visit the museum's exhibitions: Apron Chronicles: A Patchwork of American Recollections and Under the Tree: A Century of Holiday Trees and Toys.  

At the Michener Art Museum, holiday performers included the Dance Arts Collaborative, The Palisades High School Madrigal Singers and the Second Baptist Church of Doylestown Choir.  Visitors also could tour the museum's select special exhibitions.
