Plymouth Historical Museum's New Exhibit Brings Presidential Holiday Moments To Life

PLYMOUTH, MI — Get into the festive spirit at the Plymouth Historical Museum's new “Yuletide at the White House” special holiday exhibit, where you can experience the heartwarming holiday traditions of presidential families.

It's like having a little bit of White House history at your finger tips! You'll experience historical presidential moments ranging from the story of Abraham Lincoln pardoning the first Thanksgiving Turkey to Andrew Jackson’s nieces and nephews making him cry on Christmas.

The exhibit runs through Dec. 31 and here's a bonus: There are two "free days" scheduled for Nov. 25 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. (sponsored by Dearborn Jewelers of Plymouth) and Dec. 3 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

“We’ve been working with businesses and community sponsors to increase the number of free admission events on our calendar so that everyone has a chance to visit,” Liz Kerstens, executive director of the Plymouth Historical Museum, said in a statement. Kerstens continued, “Come and delight in the festive holiday atmosphere and be sure to come back Saturdays and Sundays from November 26 – December 18 for pictures with Santa! No lines here.”

The museum is located in downtown Plymouth at 155 S. Main St.
