The Baxter County Historical and Genealogical Society is inviting the community to its Heritage Holiday celebration at the Baxter County Historical Museum on Saturday, Dec. 5. The event will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the museum, located at 300 Bomber Blvd. in Mountain Home.
Visitors can enjoy guided tours of the museum’s exhibits, refreshments, and a crafters’ market featuring handmade goods. In addition, KTLO radio will broadcast live from the museum between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. The broadcast will include KTLO’s Treasure Chest, giving attendees a chance to win the station’s jackpot by selecting the correct key.
A highlight of the day will be a silent auction for a sightseeing flight over the Twin Lakes area. The flight, valued at $600, will be aboard a four-seat Cessna 182 and piloted by society member Gerald Gaige. It was donated by the Leading Edge Aviation Foundation. The winner of the auction can bring two guests on the scenic flight. Bids can be placed in person at the museum or by calling 870-425-2551. The auction will close at 2 p.m. on the day of the event.
The Baxter County Historical Museum is also open to the public on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information about the Heritage Holiday event or other museum offerings, visit BaxterCountyHistory.org.
