Online Exhibit:

Evergreens and A Jolly Old Elf

In December, it seems like Santa is everywhere. This exhibit--which includes material from the Presque Isle Fire Department, United Society of Shakers, and MHS, and features images from around the state--provides background on some of our favorite holiday traditions and finds Santa Claus in many amusing situations.  View the exhibit.
