The Rochester Hills Museum at Van Hoosen Farm will be open Dec. 23 and Dec. 28– 30 from 1 – 4 p.m. Two temporary exhibits are on display through December.

Lost Rochester draws upon the museum’s extensive archival collections of newspapers, artifacts, and photographs that feature the businesses and buildings that were once a part of the Rochester community, but are now gone. Also showing is The Rochester Home Town Christmas Parade Celebrates Six Decades of Christmas Joy. The exhibit features news articles, photographs, and memorabilia that have sustained one of the largest events in our community for the past sixty years.  Also on display is a collection of White House Christmas cards and cards from various world leaders on loan from former Congressman William Broomfield.

Can you imagine living outside all winter? Many animals in Michigan do just that!

On Tuesday, Dec. 27 at 1 p.m., join the Rochester Hills Museum for a program on Animals in Winter. Take a walk in Bloomer Park and learn about animal adaptations for surviving a Michigan winter. Come dressed for the weather, as this program includes a hike to look for animal homes, tracks, and wildlife.

Ages 6 and up are welcome. Admission is $5 for adults, $3 for children and seniors 60+ (museum members free). Upon entering the park, turn right on the first side road. Staff will be there to welcome you.

Limited space is available. To register, contact (248) 656-4663 or rhmuseum@rochesterhills.org.
